Question

Below is the graph of a trigonometric function. It has a minimum point at (- 10.4, - 9.8) and a maximum point at (- 3.6, - 1.2) . What is the period of the function?

Answer 1

Explanation:

4.3 unit from by khan academy

Answer 2

13.6

Explanation:

The period is double of the distance (on the x-axis) between the maximum and the minimum. In this case, the x-coordinate of the minimum is -10.4, the x-coordinate of the maximum is -3.6, the distance is -3.6 - (-10.4) = 6.8, and the period is 2*6.8 = 13.6
