I have trouble with getting coordinates from the sine graph:



enter image description here



The format of the function is:
$f(x)=sin(x-k)+c$



I need to find the coordinates of A. Could you give me just a little hint where to start from? I understand that the period of the function is $2pi$, and that the horizontal coordinate is $frac2x3$, but I have no idea how to get the vertical coordinate which, according to the exercise, is $frac32$, all I can say is that it should be equal to $c+1$ as the maximum point is one because there is no vertical stretch, and the graph is translated up by $c$.



enter image description here



I am expected to solve the problem in this order.

    You need $c$ to write down the coordinates of $A$. As the question does not say that you have to give the numerical values, a valid answer could be $A(frac2pi3, 1+c)$

We have $0=f(2 pi)$ and $0=f(frac4 pi3)$. This gives two equations for $k$ and $c$.



Solve this system of equations. Then look for $x_0 in (0, frac4 pi3) $ such that $f'(x_0)=0$.



Then we have $A=f(x_0)$.

I would start by figuring out $k$ and $c$. From the graph, you can see that
$f(0)= sin-k +c = - sink + c = 0 Rightarrow c = sink$



and also



$
fleft(frac4pi3 right) = sinleft(frac4pi3 - k right) + c = 0
$



Now we can use $sin(x-y) = sinx cosy - cosxsiny $
$$
Rightarrow sinleft(frac4pi3 - k right) = sinfrac4pi3 cosk - cosfrac4pi3sink = -fracsqrt32 cosk + frac12sink
$$
and therefore
$$
fleft(frac4pi3 right) = -fracsqrt32 cosk + frac12sink + c = 0
$$
We can also use $cosk = sqrt1- sin^2k = sqrt1-c^2$, giving an equation for $c$:
$$
-fracsqrt32 sqrt1-c^2 + frac12c + c = 0
$$
Can you continue from here?

You have $$f(x)=sin(x-k)+c$$ Using the two points
$$fleft(frac4 pi 3right)=sinleft(frac4 pi 3-kright)+c= 0tag 1$$
$$f(2pi)=sin(2pi-k)+c=-sin(k)+c=0tag 2$$



Subract $(2)$ from $(1)$ to get a simple trigonometric equation in $k$, namely
$$sinleft(frac4 pi 3-kright)+sin(k)=0 $$ Use $sin(p)+sin(q)=??$, then solve it for $k$, and back to $(1)$ or $(2)$ get $c$ .



On the other hand, point $A$ seems to be a maximum. Since $$f'(x)=cos(x-k)$$ at this point $f'(x)=0$. Then $x= ?$; at this point compute $f(x)$ and you are done.

  • Umm, is $f'()$ is a derivative? As we did not study these. Also, its not $frac4pi3$ but $frac4x3$ in the picture. Also, I cannot get c and k before writing the coordinates of A, is it really possible to do it in this order(first getting coordinates of A, then getting k and c)?

  • Symmetry gives the first negative minimum of $f(x)$ in the middle between $frac4pi3$ and $2pi$ at $x_m = frac2pi + frac4pi32= frac53pi$. Since $sin(frac32pi)= -1$ we get the shift
    $$frac53pi- k = frac32pi Rightarrow boxedk = fracpi6$$

  • $f(2pi) = sin(2pi - fracpi6) + c = 0$
    $$Rightarrow boxedc = sin fracpi6 = frac12 $$

    You have $$f(x)=sin(x-k)+c$$ Using the two points
    $$fleft(frac4 pi 3right)=sinleft(frac4 pi 3-kright)+c= 0tag 1$$
    $$f(2pi)=sin(2pi-k)+c=-sin(k)+c=0tag 2$$



    Subract $(2)$ from $(1)$ to get a simple trigonometric equation in $k$, namely
    $$sinleft(frac4 pi 3-kright)+sin(k)=0 $$ Use $sin(p)+sin(q)=??$, then solve it for $k$, and back to $(1)$ or $(2)$ get $c$ .



    On the other hand, point $A$ seems to be a maximum. Since $$f'(x)=cos(x-k)$$ at this point $f'(x)=0$. Then $x= ?$; at this point compute $f(x)$ and you are done.

    • Umm, is $f'()$ is a derivative? As we did not study these. Also, its not $frac4pi3$ but $frac4x3$ in the picture. Also, I cannot get c and k before writing the coordinates of A, is it really possible to do it in this order(first getting coordinates of A, then getting k and c)?

    • @Danielius. As far as I can "see" it (I am almost blind), it is $frac4pi3$

    • Symmetry gives the first negative minimum of $f(x)$ in the middle between $frac4pi3$ and $2pi$ at $x_m = frac2pi + frac4pi32= frac53pi$. Since $sin(frac32pi)= -1$ we get the shift
      $$frac53pi- k = frac32pi Rightarrow boxedk = fracpi6$$

    • $f(2pi) = sin(2pi - fracpi6) + c = 0$
      $$Rightarrow boxedc = sin fracpi6 = frac12 $$
