Worked solution
1(i)
1. Find the vertical shift $r$ using the maximum and minimum values
The maximum value is and the minimum value is .
2. Find the amplitude $p$ using the maximum and minimum values
3. Find the frequency multiplier $q$ using the period of the graph
From the graph, one full cycle is completed between and , so the period is .
, ,
1(ii)
1. Identify the $x$-coordinate of the maximum point between $k$ and $h$
From part (i), the curve is . The first maximum occurs when , which gives .
2. Use the symmetry of the sine curve to relate $k$, $h$, and the maximum point
The points and have the same -value and lie on either side of the first maximum. Due to the symmetry of the sine curve, the -coordinate of the maximum is the midpoint of and .
