Identify the maximum and minimum values of the function y = 8 COS X in the interval (-211, 21). Use your understanding of transformations not your graphing

calculator

max = 8

min = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Sinusoidal functions take the form of

y (x) = Acos (ωx + Ф) + k

where A is the amplitude.

k is your vertical shift.

Ф is your phase shift (horizontal shift).

In your case, you have

y = 8cos (x)

y = 8cos (x + 0) + 0

your amplitude is 8 and you're not shifting, so you max and min is just the positive and negative value of your amplitude.
