Textbook Question
Identify the amplitude and period of the following functions.
f(π)=2sin2θ

1
Identify the general form of the sine function, which is \( f(\theta) = a \sin(b\theta) \), where \( a \) is the amplitude and \( \frac{2\pi}{b} \) is the period.
In the given function \( f(\theta) = 2\sin(2\theta) \), compare it with the general form to identify the values of \( a \) and \( b \). Here, \( a = 2 \) and \( b = 2 \).
The amplitude of a sine function is the absolute value of \( a \). Therefore, the amplitude is \( |2| = 2 \).
The period of a sine function is calculated using the formula \( \frac{2\pi}{b} \). Substitute \( b = 2 \) into the formula to find the period.
Calculate the period: \( \frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi \). Thus, the period of the function is \( \pi \).
