    Section 4.5

    For y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, the period is 2pi/b.

    Question 6

    P = 2pi/2 = pi

    Question 8

    P = 2pi/(pi/3)

    P = 2pi(3)/(pi/3)(3/1)

    P = 6pi/pi

    P = 6

    Question 10

    P = 2pi/(1/6)

    P = 2pi(6)/(1/6)(6/1)

    P = 12pi

    Question 12

    P = 2pi/10pi

    P = 2/10

    P = 1/5

    all answers for period are correct

    what is about amplitude?

    I decided to divide the question into two parts. I answered the amplitude part of the question in a separate thread.
