Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given a sinusoidal function y=5sin(3x3π2)5 y = -5 \sin \left(3x - \frac{3\pi}{2}\right) - 5 .
2. We need to determine the phase shift of this function.
3. We are given a trigonometric expression sin(π2x) \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) and need to find its equivalent.
4. We are given a trigonometric expression cos(x) \cos(-x) and need to find its equivalent.

STEP 2

1. Analyze the sinusoidal function to find the phase shift.
2. Use trigonometric identities to find an equivalent expression for sin(π2x) \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) .
3. Use trigonometric identities to find an equivalent expression for cos(x) \cos(-x) .

STEP 3

The general form of a sinusoidal function is y=asin(bxc)+d y = a \sin(bx - c) + d . The phase shift is given by cb \frac{c}{b} .

STEP 4

Identify b b and c c from the function y=5sin(3x3π2)5 y = -5 \sin \left(3x - \frac{3\pi}{2}\right) - 5 :
Here, b=3 b = 3 and c=3π2 c = \frac{3\pi}{2} .

STEP 5

Calculate the phase shift:
Phase shift=cb=3π23=π2 \text{Phase shift} = \frac{c}{b} = \frac{\frac{3\pi}{2}}{3} = \frac{\pi}{2}
Since the expression is bxc bx - c , the phase shift is to the right.

STEP 6

Use the co-function identity for sine:
sin(π2x)=cosx \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \cos x

STEP 7

Use the even-odd identity for cosine:
cos(x)=cosx \cos(-x) = \cos x
The answers are:
1. The phase shift of the sinusoidal function is π2 \frac{\pi}{2} radians to the right.
2. An equivalent trigonometric expression for sin(π2x) \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) is cosx \cos x .
3. An equivalent trigonometric expression for cos(x) \cos(-x) is cosx \cos x .
