Key points and features of the basic sine and cosine graphs

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

For this item, take the basic cosine function to be \(f(x)=\cos x\)

The graph is considered on \([-\frac{5}{2}\pi,\ -\frac{1}{2}\pi]\); the endpoints are included

Consecutive quarter-turn positions are separated by \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

(a)1 mark

Which five-point pattern matches the stated basic function?

(b)4 marks

Use the quarter-turn pattern to complete the table. For each point, enter the coefficient of \(\pi\) in x, then the y-value

\(point\)\(x\text{ coefficient of }\pi\)\(y\)
\(1\)\(-5/2\)\(0\)
\(2\)\(?\)\(?\)
\(3\)\(-3/2\)\(0\)
\(4\)\(-1\)\(-1\)
\(5\)\(?\)\(?\)
