In general a trigonometric function of the form:


y=A\sin (B(x+C))+D

has the following properties:

• A is the amplitude.

,

• C is the phase shift (positive to the left)

,

• D is the vertical shift

,

• The period is given as:


(2\pi)/(B)

From the information given we have that the amplitude is 3, then:


A=3

The period is 6pi then we have:


\begin{gathered} 6\pi=(2\pi)/(B) \\ B=(2\pi)/(6\pi) \\ B=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}

The horizontal shift is:


C=-(3\pi)/(2)

And the vertical shift is:


D=-1

Once we know the values we plug them in the general expression for the sine function, our function is:


y=3\sin ((1)/(3)(x-(3\pi)/(2)))-1

Now that we have the function we can find the its value when x=2pi, plugging this value of x in the expression we have:


\begin{gathered} y=3\sin ((1)/(3)(2\pi-(3\pi)/(2)))-1 \\ y=3\sin ((1)/(3)((\pi)/(2)))-1 \\ y=3\sin ((\pi)/(6))=-1 \\ y=3((1)/(2))-1 \\ y=(3)/(2)-1 \\ y=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of y for the given x is 1/2
