Grade 12 · Whoobee Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Answer each question. x is measured in degrees; give periods and phase shifts in degrees and the midline as y = k.
How to solve
For y = A sin(B(x - C)) + D (or cos): the amplitude is |A|, the period is 360°/B, the midline is y = D, the maximum is D + |A|, and the phase shift is C (right if C > 0, left if C < 0). On a graph, the amplitude is half the distance from a peak to a trough.
Example
For y = sin(2x): What is the period, in degrees?
Answer: 180°
Not quite. The answer is
💡 The amplitude is |A|, the size of the number in front of sin. Here A = 1, so the amplitude is |1| = 1.
✓ Correct!
