State the amplitude, period, and phase shift for . Then graph the function.

Since a = 2 and b = 1, the amplitude and period of the function are the same as y = 2 cos . However h = –20, so the phase shift is –20. Because h < 0, the parent graph is shifted to the left.

To graph y = 2 sin ( + 20), consider the graph of y = 2 sin . Graph this function and then shift the graph 20 to the left.

Example:

Answer: amplitude: 2; period: 360; phase shift: 20 left

Example:

The phase shift is to the right, since h > 0.

Answer: amplitude: period: 2; phase shift: right

State the amplitude, period, and phase shift for each function. Then graph the function.

a.

Answer: amplitude: 3; period: 360; phase shift: –30

Example:

b.

Answer: amplitude: period: 2; phase shift:

State the vertical shift, equation of the midline, amplitude, and period for . Then graph the function.

Since and the vertical shift is –1. Draw the midline, y = –1. The amplitude is 2 and the period is 2.

Draw the graph of the function relative to the midline.

Answer: vertical shift: –1; midline: y = –1; amplitude: 2; period: 2

Example:

Vertical shift: k = 3, so the midline is the graph of y = 3.

Example:

Then draw the cosine curve.

Answer: vertical shift: +3; midline: y = 3;

amplitude:

period: 2

Since the amplitude of the function is draw

dashed lines parallel to the midline that are unit above and below the midline.

State the vertical shift, equation of the midline, amplitude, and period for each function. Then graph the function.

a.

Answer: vertical shift: –2; midline: y = –2; amplitude: 3; period: 2

Example:

State the vertical shift, equation of the midline, amplitude, and period for each function. Then graph the function.

b.

Answer: vertical shift: 2; midline: y = 2; amplitude: 3; period: 2

Example:

State the vertical shift, amplitude, period, and

phase shift of Then graph the function.

The function is written in the form Identify the values of k, a, b, and h.

so the vertical shift is 4.

so the amplitude is or 3.

so the period is

so the phase shift is right.

Example:

Graph the function.

Step 1 The vertical shift is 4. Graph the midline y = 4.

Step 2 The amplitude is 3. Draw dashed lines 3 units above and below the midline at y = 1 and y = 7.

Step 3 The period is , so the graph is compressed. Graph using the midline as a reference.

Step 4 Shift the graph to the right.

State the vertical shift, amplitude, period, and

phase shift of Then graph the function.
