which term gives the horizontal length of one cycle of a periodic function?\n○ amplitude\n○ period\n○ frequency\n○ phase shift

which term gives the horizontal length of one cycle of a periodic function?\n○ amplitude\n○ period\n○ frequency\n○ phase shift

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the term for the horizontal length of one cycle of a periodic function, we analyze each option:

  • Amplitude: Measures the vertical distance (height) from the midline to the peak, not horizontal length.
  • Period: Defined as the horizontal length of one complete cycle of a periodic function.
  • Frequency: The number of cycles per unit time, related to period (frequency = 1/period) but not the length of a cycle.
  • Phase Shift: A horizontal shift of the graph, not the length of a cycle.

Answer:

B. period (assuming the options are labeled A. amplitude, B. period, C. frequency, D. phase shift as per typical multiple - choice formatting for this question)
