But, because it's so curvy... its period
- 00:22
is probably smaller than usual.
- 00:24
Because it is expressed by a coefficient greater than 1 in the parentheses; only answer choices
- 00:30
A, C, and D have that. As for its amplitude, it seems to reach 3
- 00:35
and negative 3, so there should be a 3 before the cos itself.
- 00:39
Of the three answer choices mentioned before, this is represented in choice A, which turns
