Additional problems available in the textbook: Only sketch one cycle for the following. Page 181 … 49, 50, 51, 52, 59, 60, 67, 68.
Don’t use a graphing utility for Problems 67 and 68. Examples 4 and 5 on page 177.
Solutions:
1a.
Amplitude = 2Period =
Phase Shift: units to the right
NOTE: The cycle will start at because of the shift.
NOTE: Starting Point + Period = = = .
Thus, the cycle will end at .

1b.
Amplitude = Period =
Phase Shift: units to the left
NOTE: The cycle will start at because of the shift.
NOTE: Starting Point + Period = = = .
Thus, the cycle will end at .
NOTE: Since the cycle starts at and ends at , the cycle will have to cross the y-axis. With the up and down oscillation of the cosine cycle, I do not want to cross the y-axis. Remember, where one cycle ends, another cycle begins. So, I will sketch the cycle that starts at .
Starting Point + Period = = = . Thus, this second cycle will end at .
