  1. For each trigonometric function:
    (i) Graph the trigonometric function for one period.
    (ii) State the vertical displacement, phase shift, period, and amplitude.
    (iii) State the domain and the range.
    1. y=2sin⁡π4(x+3)+1y = 2\sin \frac{\pi }{4}(x + 3) + 1

    2. y=3sec⁡(π2x−π)−1y = 3\sec (\frac{\pi }{2}x - \pi ) - 1

    3. y=−2sin⁡(4x+4π)−3y = - 2\sin (4x + 4\pi ) - 3

Sine graph: y = sin x

Notes
After learning all the graphs of basic trigonometric functions, in this lesson, we are going to go a little bit further on how the graphs will be transformed as the functions change. The general form for the equation of trig functions is y = f [B(x + c)] + D, where f refers the trig function; A refers to the amplitude/steepness; B represents the period of the graph; C refers to phase shift (left or right) and D represents vertical shift (up or down). We will learn how to graph the trig function for multiple periods; state the vertical displacement, phase shift, period and amplitude; and also find the domain and range of the transformed functions.
