Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
Standard FormThe general equation for a transformed sine function, written as y = A sin(B(x - C)) + D, where A, B, C, and D are parameters that control the function's properties.The function y = 2 sin(3(x - π)) + 5 is in standard form.
AmplitudeHalf the distance between the maximum and minimum values of the function. It represents the wave's height from its central axis and is determined by |A|.For y = 4 sin(x), the amplitude is |4| = 4. The graph oscillates between -4 and 4.
PeriodThe length of one complete cycle of the wave before it starts repeating. It is the horizontal distance required for the function to complete one full oscillation.For y = sin(2x), the period is 2π/|2| = π. The function completes a full cycle every π units.
Phase ShiftThe horizonta...

Core Formulas
Standard Form of a Sine Function
y = A \sin(B(x - C)) + D
This is the foundational formula used to identify all properties. 'A' controls amplitude and reflection, 'B' controls the period, 'C' controls the phase shift, and 'D' controls the vertical shift.
Amplitude Formula
Amplitude = |A|
The amplitude is the absolute value of the coefficient 'A'. If A is negative, it also indicates a reflection across the x-axis (or midline).
Period Formula
Period = \frac{2\pi}{|B|}
Use the coefficient 'B' to calculate the length of one cycle. A larger |B| value results in a shorter period (horizontal compression), and a smaller |B| value results in a longer period (horizontal stretch).
Range Formula
Range = [D - |A|,...
