Answer:

Amplitude of

4

sin

(

3

x

)

is

4

Period of

Explanation:

y

=

sin

(

θ

)

has an amplitude of

1

XXXX

y

varies between

+

1

and

1

If

y

=

4

sin

(

θ

)

XXXX

then

y

will vary between

+

4

and

4

XXXX

y

=

4

sin

(

θ

)

has an amplitude of

4

(for any

θ

)

y

=

k

sin

(

θ

)

has a period of

2

π

XXXX

y

completes one cycle while

θ

increases by

2

π

if

3

x

=

θ

XXXX

y

completes one cycle while

3

x

increases by

2

π

XXXX

or (expressed in another way)

XXXX

y

completes

1

3

of a cycle while

x

increase by

2

π

XXXX

y

completes 1 cycle while

x

increases by
