Solution 28633: Finding the Amplitude of a Periodic Function on the TI-Nspire™ CAS Family Products.

How do I find the amplitude of a periodic function on the TI-Nspire CAS Family Products?

The amplitude of a periodic function is one-half the difference between the largest possible value of the function and the smallest possible value.

 For example, for f1(x) = sin(x), the largest possible value of y is 1 and the smallest possible value is -1, so the amplitude is 1.

The TI-Nspire CAS does not have a function allowing to find the amplitude of a periodic function.

Please see the TI-Nspire CAS family guidebooks for additional information.
