Without graphing the function, determine its amplitude or period as requested.
-$y = 5 \sin \frac { 1 } { 4 } x \quad$ Find the amplitude.
A) 2
B) $6 \pi$
C) $\frac { \pi } { 2 }$
D) $\frac { 2 \pi } { 3 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amplitude of a sine function $y = a \sin(bx)$ is given by the absolute value of $a$, which in this case is $|5| = 5$. However, since there's no option matching "5", it seems there was a mistake in the provided options or in my interpretation. The correct amplitude is indeed 5, not listed among the options.
