Answer:

Y = 5 sin(2x) + 4

The amplitude of the sin itself is 1 .

The amplitude of 5sin is 5 .

Every time the "argument" of the sin increases by 2π

another period starts.

The first period goes from zero until 2x = 2π .

So the length of the period is π .

The phase shift is the value of the angle when x=0.

That's zero.

The sin itself wiggles up and down, regularly and symmetrically,

above and below the x-axis (y=0). In this equation, the whole thing

is shifted up 4 units by that +4 on the end, so it's wiggling up and down

above and below the line y=4. The vertical shift is +4 .

If this function were an electrical signal, we would say that its

period is π seconds, its frequency is 1/π Hz, and it has an

AC amplitude of 5 riding on a DC component of 4 .
