Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 'a' out front in y = a sin(bx) determines the amplitude.

The b term helps us compute the period, which is 2pi/b for sine, cosine, secant, and cosecant functions.

For example, y = 2sin(3x) has an amplitude of 2 and period of 2pi/3

For tangent and cotangent functions, the period would be pi/b.
