Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x) = -\sin\left(3x+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+1}

     a. What is the amplitude?
     b. What is the period?
     c. What is the phase shift?
     d. What is the vertical shift?
     e. Graph one cycle of f(x). Make sure to label five key points.

Final Answers
a) False. Nothing in the definition of a geometric sequence requires the common ratio to be always positive. For example, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle a_n = (-a)^n}
b) False. Linear systems only have a solution if the lines intersect. So y = x and y = x + 1 will never intersect because they are parallel.
c) False. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y = x^2} does not have an inverse.
d) True. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle cos^2(x) - cos(x) = 0} has multiple solutions.
e) True.
f) False.
