| Alright. On a sine and cosine graph, you have certain components that include: period, amplitude, vertical shift, and phase shift. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| So I know amplitude has something to do with the top of a wave or something like that because thats similar to the amplitude of a sound wave. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| You're partially right. The amplitude is your minimum and maximum values. The period is the distance between any two sets of repeating points on the graph of the function. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| So what's the difference between vertical shift and phase shift? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Vertical shift moves the graph up and down. The movement is all based on what happens to the y-value of the graph. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Ohh yeahh! And the phase shift is the amount of horizontal displacement of the function from its original position. | |
