Sine Graph Explanation

The graph of the function y = -4sin(6x) + 1 has an amplitude of 4, a vertical shift of 1 unit upwards, and a period of π/3. Key points for one full cycle from x = 0 to x = π/3 include (0, 1), (π/12, -3), (π/6, 1), (π/4, 5), and (π/3, 1). The graph is plotted by connecting these points to form a sine wave.

Graph of $y = -4\sin(6x) + 1$

Step 1: Identify Key Properties


• Amplitude: The coefficient of sine is -4, so the amplitude is | -4 | = 4.

• Vertical Shift: The '+1' at the end shifts the graph up by 1 unit.

• Period: The period of a sine function is given by:

Period = 2π / B, where B = 6, so Period = 2π / 6 = π/3.

Step 2: Determine Key Points


One full cycle occurs over x ∈ [0, π/3]. The sine function completes one full cycle over its
period, passing through the following key points:

x y = -4sin(6x) + 1

0 1

π/12 -3

π/6 1

π/4 5

π/3 1

Step 3: Set Up the Axes


• X-axis: Label the x-axis with values from 0 to π/3 and mark key points: 0, π/12, π/6, π/4,
π/3.

• Y-axis: The function ranges from -3 to 5, so set the y-axis accordingly.

Step 4: Plot and Sketch the Curve


• Start at (0,1), drop to (-3) at x = π/12, return to 1 at x = π/6, rise to 5 at x = π/4, and
complete the cycle back at 1 when x = π/3.

• Smoothly connect the points to form a sine wave.


This graph represents one full cycle of the function y = -4sin(6x) + 1, from x = 0 to x = π/3.
