question: consider the function y = 2sin(x) for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°. 1. graph the function: plot the function y =…

Explanation:

Step1: Recall properties of sine - function

The general form of a sine - function is $y = A\sin(Bx - C)+D$. For the function $y = 2\sin(x)$, $A = 2$, $B = 1$, $C = 0$, $D = 0$. The amplitude is $|A|=2$, the period is $T=\frac{2\pi}{B}=360^{\circ}$ (since $B = 1$ and in degrees).

Step2: Find x - intercepts

Set $y = 0$, then $2\sin(x)=0$. So $\sin(x)=0$. In the interval $0^{\circ}\leq x\leq360^{\circ}$, $x = 0^{\circ},180^{\circ},360^{\circ}$. The coordinates of the x - intercepts are $(0,0),(180,0),(360,0)$.

Step3: Find maximum points

The maximum value of $\sin(x)$ is 1. For $y = 2\sin(x)$, when $\sin(x)=1$, $y = 2$. In the interval $0^{\circ}\leq x\leq360^{\circ}$, $\sin(x)=1$ at $x = 90^{\circ}$. The coordinate of the maximum - point is $(90,2)$.

Step4: Find minimum points

The minimum value of $\sin(x)$ is - 1. For $y = 2\sin(x)$, when $\sin(x)=-1$, $y=-2$. In the interval $0^{\circ}\leq x\leq360^{\circ}$, $\sin(x)=-1$ at $x = 270^{\circ}$. The coordinate of the minimum - point is $(270, - 2)$.

Step5: Graph the function

Plot the points $(0,0),(90,2),(180,0),(270,-2),(360,0)$ on the coordinate plane with the x - axis labeled "Angle (degrees)" and the y - axis labeled "y - value" and connect them with a smooth curve.

Answer:

The x - intercepts are $(0,0),(180,0),(360,0)$; the maximum point is $(90,2)$; the minimum point is $(270,-2)$. Graph by plotting these points and connecting them with a smooth curve.
