Answer:

Amplitude = 3

Explanation:

Given

The sine curve above

Required

Determine the amplitude

To determine the amplitude of a sine curve, we have to calculate the distance between the horizontal line of the curve and the top or bottom of the function

Using the top of the curve as a point of reference;

Amplitude = Top of curve - Horizontal Line.

The horizontal line is always at point 0

From the graph above, the top of the curve is at point 3

Hence,

Amplitude = 3 - 0

Amplitude = 3
