Answer:

(d) y = 1/2sin(2x)

Explanation:

The sin(x) function will have a maximum value of 1 and a period of 360°. The function plotted is a sine function with a maximum value of 1/2 and a period of 180°.

For a function g(x) = a·f(b·x), the vertical scale factor is 'a', and the horizontal compression factor is 'b'. Our sine function has a vertical scale factor of 1/2, and a horizontal compression of 360/180 = 2, so the transformed function is ...

y = 1/2sin(2x)
