You use a sine function to model the percentage of the Moon's face that is lit by the Sun every night. At full moon, all of the Moon's face is lit (100%). At New Moon, none of the moon's face is lit (0%).

The output of your function expresses percentages as decimals. For example, 5% = 0.05.

What is the amplitude of your sine function?

A) 0.1

B) 0.5

C) 1.0

D) 2.0

Brennan Larsen · Answer 1

If you use a sine function to model the percentage of the Moon’s face that is lit by the Sun every night, then at full moon, all of the Moon’s face is lit (100%), then the amplitude of your sine function should be 0.1.
