Answer:


\boxed{ \displaystyle y = 7\sin\left((2)/(9)x-(1)/(4)\right)}

Explanation:

we want to figure out the equation of a sine function that has the following characteristics.

  • Amplitude: 7
  • Period: 9π
  • Phase shift: 1/4

the standard form of sine function is given by


\displaystyle y = a\sin(bx-c)+d

where:

  • a is the amplitude
  • b can be sorted out using the equation 2π/b=period
  • C refers to phase shift

Finding a and phase shift:

a and c is simply given which is

  • a=7
  • C=¼

finding b:

using the equation we acquire:


(2\pi)/(b)=9\pi

solving the equation for b,we obtain:

b=2/9

finding d:

Since d Isn't mentioned, we would assume it 0

finding the equation:

substitute what we got:


\boxed{ \displaystyle y = 7\sin\left((2)/(9)x-(1)/(4)\right)}

and we're done!
