Answer:

p = 2

q = -1

k = -1

Explanation:

Cosine functions always start above or below 0. So, the one that starts at (0, 1) is f(x) = (p)cosx + q. Sine functions always start at 0. So, the one that starts at (0, 0) is g(x) = (k)sinx.

Using the help image attached, we know that:

p and k = amplitude (top to midline)

  • Negative when cosx/sinx starts at the bottom

q = vertical shift (movement of midline)

For f(x) = (p)cosx + q:

p = 2

q = -1

For g(x) = (k)sinx:

k = -1

Hope this helps!
