y = sin (.5x). The coefficient b in the above graph is 2, so the period of the sine curve changed by a factor of 1/2, making the new period Ï, or about 3.14. y = sin (.5x). For the above graph, the coefficient b = 1/2, so the period of the sine curve will be twice as long as it usually is, or 4 Ï. y = sin (3x).
The term silent revolution refers here to a shift in the prevailing paradigm for international economic and political relations, away from tendencies toward autarky, insularity, mercantilism, and governmental planning and control over economic activity; and toward a common set of beliefs and policies based on open international trade and finance, competitive pricing and production decisions, and cooperation between countries.
