standard_description: Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
problem_activity: Given:
$${{f(x)}=\mathrm{cos}(2x)}$$
$${g(x)=-\mathrm{cos}(x)}$$
[IMG]
a.   Describe the period, amplitude, and midline of the function
$${f(x)}$$
.
b.   Where is
$${f(x)}=g(x)$$
over the domain of
$${0\leq x \leq 2\pi}$$
?
