Answer

amplitude=$10$ period =$ 4\pi$ graph (black): .

Work Step by Step

See p. 424 For $y=a\sin k(x-b),\ ,\quad y=a\cos k(x-b)$, $(k>0)$ Amplitude: $|a|$, Period: $\displaystyle \frac{2\pi}{k}$, Horizontal shift: $b$ ------------------ $y=10\displaystyle \sin(\frac{1}{2}x)$ $a=10 , k=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}, b=0$ So, amplitude=$|10|=10$ period =$\displaystyle \frac{2\pi}{\frac{1}{2}}=4\pi$ To graph, begin with $f(x)=\cos x,$ (red, dashed) horizontally stretch by factor $2$ and vertically stretch by factor 10, (black, solid line). Use the points within one period: $g(0)=10$ $g(\displaystyle \pi)=10\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})=0$ $g(2\pi)=10\cos(\pi)=10$ $g(3\displaystyle \pi)=10\cos(\frac{3\pi}{2})=0$ $g(4\pi)=10\cos(2\pi)=10.$
