Answer
True
Work Step by Step
To find the amplitude, we find the maximum of the function $y = -5sin(A \pi x)$. The maximum occurs when $sin(A \pi x)=-1$, causing $y = -5sin(A \pi x) = -5 * - 1 = 5$. Thus, the amplitude is 5.
To find the period, we note that the period of the function $sin(Bx)$ is $\frac{2\pi}{|B|}$, where $B$ is the coefficient of the $x$ term in the sin function. In this case, the coefficient of the $x$ term in the sin function is $\pi A$. Thus, the period is $\frac{2\pi}{|\pi A|} = \frac{2}{|A|}$.
