2. ConcepTest • Section 1.5 • Answer 1
(d). The maximum value of the function is 5, and the minimum value is –1, so the amplitude is = 3. The function repeats itself after 2 units, so the period is 2.

ConcepTest • Section 1.5 • Question 2

4. ConcepTest • Section 1.5 • Answer 2
(c). The maximum value of the function is 5, and the minimum 1, so the amplitude is = 2. The function repeats itself after ½ unit, so the period is ½.
