Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

y = -2

Discussion:

From the graph the maximum value or "highest point" on the function appears to be

y = -2

Thank you,

MrB

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given is a graph with more than 2 periods shown. The wave represents that it is the sine function.

From the graph we find that the graph gets its maximum at y=-2 and minimum at y =-6

Hence range =[-6,-2]

Amplitude = 2

There is no x intercept but y intercept =-4

Hence the possible equation would be

y = 2sin(bx+k)-4

for some real b and k

Since sine max value is 1, we have

Maximum value is 2-4 =-2
