Answer Key

1)  Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 4, period = π/2

2)  Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 5, period = 2π/5

3) Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 1, period = π

4)  Amplitude (A) = 4, B = 1, period =

5)  Amplitude (A) = 2, B = 1, period =

6)  Amplitude (A) = 2, B = 4, period = π/2

7) Amplitude (A) = 3, B = 2/3, period =

8)  Amplitude (A) = 4, B = 5, period = 2π/5

9) Amplitude (A) = 3, B = 2, period = π

10)  Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 2, period = π

11)  Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 1/3, period =

12)  Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 0.6, period = 10π/3

13)  Amplitude (A) = 1, B = 4, period = π/2
