Question

Use the given graph. Determine the period of the function.

Answer 1

The answer is 3.

A period is the length that it takes the graph to repeat in behavior. You'll notice that every 3 units, it hits the axis and repeats the same pattern.

Answer 2

C. 3

Explanation:

We have been given that graph of a function. We are asked to find the period of our given function.

We know that period of a function is the distance required for the function to complete one full cycle.

Upon looking at our given function, we can see that period of function starts at x equals 0 and completes at x equals 3. The second period starts 3 and completes at 6.

Since the graph of function repeats itself after each 3 units, therefore, the period of our given function is 3 and option C is the correct choice.
