The standard sine function is given by:


y=a\sin (bx+c)

Where:

Amplitude = 2a

Period = 2π/b

Horizontal shift = c

In this case, we have:

- Maximum of 6 and minimum of negative 6, hence the amplitude is 12, this is


\begin{gathered} 2a=12 \\ (2a)/(2)=(12)/(2) \\ a=6 \end{gathered}

- The period is 2π/3, therefore:


\begin{gathered} (2\pi)/(3)=(2\pi)/(b) \\ b\cdot2\pi=3\cdot2\pi \\ b\cdot(2\pi)/(2\pi)=3\cdot(2\pi)/(2\pi) \\ b=3 \end{gathered}

- The graph passes through the y-axis at (0,2), which is 1/3 of the maximum. Considering the shift, we have


c=\pi

Answer:

a = 6, b = 3, c = π
