Choice 1, #pi/2# to #{5pi}/2#

Explanation:

As math has gone online the quality has really suffered. No real math editor would commit an italic #s text{} ec# to print.

We seek two periods of #y = 1/2 sec (2x - pi) .# The period of #sec x # is of course #2pi# and the factor of two on #x# means the period of our function is #pi.# So if we want two cycles, we need #x# to range over #2pi.#

Let's look at our choices. The first one has the correct interval size.

Let's try it in the Socratic #cancel{text{crasher}}# grapher. #pi/2 approx 1.7# and #{5pi}/2 approx 7.9.# Looks like two periods. #quad sqrt#

graph{y = 1/2 sec (2x - pi) [1.7, 7.85, -2.5, 2.5]}
