To determine whether the given statement is true or false, we need to understand how the function \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \) is graphed over the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \). Specifically, we need to check if the graph is created by adding x-coordinates or by some other method.
- The function \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \) is a combination of the sine and cosine functions.
- To graph this function, we calculate the y-values for each x-value in the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \).
- The statement suggests that the graph is created by adding x-coordinates, which is not correct. The correct approach involves calculating the y-values for each x-value.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: False. We graph \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \) for \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \) by adding y-coordinates.
We start by defining the function \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \). This function is a combination of the sine and cosine functions.
We generate \( x \) values in the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \). This interval is chosen because it represents one complete cycle of the sine and cosine functions.
For each \( x \) value, we calculate the corresponding \( y \) value using the function \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \).
We plot the function \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \) over the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \). The plot helps us visualize the behavior of the function.
The statement claims that the graph of \( y = \sin x + 5 \cos x \) for \( 0 \leq x \leq 2\pi \) is created by adding \( x \)-coordinates. This is incorrect because the graph is created by calculating the \( y \)-values for each \( x \)-value, not by adding \( x \)-coordinates.
