Question

Given an equation in the form y = Asin(wx), where would the function start

at on a coordinate grid?

a) (0, 1)

b) (1, 0)

c) (0, 0)

d) (0, -1)

Answer 1

The sine function y = Asin(wx) starts at the point (0, 0) on the coordinate grid, because when x is 0, sin(0) equals 0 and thus y equals 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about determining the starting point of a sine function given in the form y = Asin(wx) on a coordinate grid. When x is 0, the sine function will evaluate to sin(0), which is always 0 regardless of the amplitude A. Therefore, the value of y when x is 0 will be A multiplied by sin(0), giving us A times 0, which equals 0. So, the function will start at the origin of the coordinate grid, which is the point (0, 0).

Answer 2

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The function start at the origin point where:

x= 0 and y = 0

so Asin(w*0) = 0
