Answer:

The amplitude of the function y=2*sin(x) is 2. The amplitude is the maximum value of the function, and in this case, the maximum value of y is 2.

The period of the function y=2*sin(x) is 2π. The period is the distance in the x-axis between two points at which the function has the same value. And in this case, the function reaches the maximum value of 2 at x = π/2, and the next time it reaches the same value is x = 3π/2, which is a distance of 2π in the x-axis.
