Given the functions:


\begin{gathered} y=sin(x+(\pi)/(3)) \\ \\ \\ y=sin(x-(\pi)/(3)) \end{gathered}

Let's plot both equations and compare the graphs.

We have:

Graph of the first equation:

• Graph of second equation:

Using the graph of the parent function, y=sin(x), the graph of y = sin(x+π/3) shifted to the left by π/3 units while the graph of y = sin(x-π/3) shifted to the right by π/3.

Both graphs have the same period and the same amplitude.

ANSWER:

The graph of y = sin(x+π/3) shifted to the left by π/3 units while the graph of y = sin(x-π/3) shifted to the right by π/3 from the parent function y=sinx.

The graphs have the same period and the same amplitude.
