Example Question #11 : Model Periodicity, Amplitude, Frequency, And Midline Of Trigonometric Functions: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsf Tf.B.5

What is the vertical shift of the function?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

This question is testing one's ability to identify the periodicity of a trigonometric function. This requires the understanding of trigonometric functions and their graphical and algebraic characteristics.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, "Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline" falls within the Cluster B of "Model Periodic Phenomena with Trigonometric Functions" concept (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF-TF.B.5). 

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Write the general form of trigonometric shifts.

where 

Step 2: Algebraically identify the vertical shift.

Given the function

identify the variables of the general form.

 

Step 3: Graph the trigonometric function to verify.

Q11

The graph above verifies that the vertical shift of the function is .
