For F(t) = Af(Bt C) + D, where f(t) is one of the basic trig functions, we have:

Then, connect the points on the graph with a smooth curve that extends in both directions beyond the five points. A single cycle is called a period. y y = sin x

The amplitude of y = a sin x (or y = a cos x) is half the distance between the maximum and minimum values of the function. amplitude = |a| If |a| > 1, the amplitude stretches the graph vertically. If 0 < |a| < 1, the amplitude shrinks the graph vertically. If a < 0, the graph is reflected in the x-axis.
Example
Determine the amplitude, period, and phase shift of y = 2sin(3x-) Solution: Amplitude = |A| = 2 period = 2/K = 2/3 phase shift = -C/K = /3 to the right y = 2sin(3x- )
