Question 28 • Precalculus

Consider the graphs of j times x is equal to 7 sine open paren 6 x minus pi over 2 close paren plus 11 and k times x is equal to 7 sine open paren 6 x minus pi over 2 close paren minus 11 Which feature of the graph of k times x is different from the graph of j times x ?

Answer
A
the phase shift
B
the frequency
C
the vertical shift
D
the amplitude

Explanation

Both functions have the same sine expression, 7 sin(6x − π/2), so they have the same amplitude, frequency, and phase shift. The constant added outside the sine shifts a graph vertically: j(x) is shifted up 11, while k(x) is shifted down 11. Therefore, the vertical shift is different.
