Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

---------------------------------

A)

The lowest point is y = 1, and the highest point is y = 27. Computing the midpoint gets us (yMin+yMax)/2 = (1+27)/2 = 28/2 = 14.

The midline of is y = 14.

Consider that the parent function has a midline of y = 0. The jump from y = 0 to y = 14 must mean has a vertical shift of 14.

Choice A is true

---------------------------------

B)

The period is the length of the cycle. For the function , the function starts at and repeats when it gets to . This is a difference of pi/2 units which is the period.

Choice B is false. It contradicts with choice E.

---------------------------------

C)

Choice C is false. The max for is at y = 27

---------------------------------

D)

To figure out the amplitude, we can note the vertical distance from the midline y = 14 to the max is 27-14 = 13 units.

Or we can note the distance from the midline to the min is 14-1 = 13 units.

Or we subtract the min and max, and divide by 2:  (yMax-yMin)/2 = (27-1)/2 = 26/2 = 13

Either way, the amplitude is 13 units

Choice D is false.

---------------------------------

E)

Choice E is true. Refer to choice B to see why this is the case.

---------------------------------

Side note: one possible function is . The various pieces of that function (in)directly lead to the amplitude, period, and vertical shift.
