in y = a sin kx
the amplitude is a
and the value of k affects the frequency
so in your equation, the amplitude would be ..... ?
To find the amplitude of the given function y = 6 sin(1/8x), we can use the general form of a sinusoidal function, which is y = A sin(Bx + C) + D. In this form, the amplitude (A) represents the maximum vertical distance between the curve and the x-axis or the midline.
In the given function, the coefficient of sin is 6, which means A = 6. Therefore, the amplitude of the function y = 6 sin(1/8x) is 6.
To find the amplitude of a sinusoidal function, you need to examine the coefficient of the sine or cosine term (e.g., A in the general form).
