Sketch the curves of the given functions by addition of ordinates. y=32cosxy=3-2 \cos x

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

We are given:

y=32cosxy=3-2\cos x

Let y1=3y_1=3 and y2=2cosxy_2=-2\cos x. Since cosx\cos x has a period of 2π2\pi, then we make a table of values and add the ordinates for 2πx2π-2\pi\leq x\leq 2\pi (two periods), plot the points (x,y1+y2)(x,y_1+y_2), and connect them with a smooth curve:
