Question
The sinusoidal axis runs along the middle of the graph of a sinusoid. It is the dashed centerline shown in Figure 3 - 1 a. What transformation of the $y=\cos x$ function does the location of the sinusoidal axis indicate?
Step 1
The sinusoidal axis is normally the x-axis, where $y=0$. Show more…

The graph of a sinusoidal function is shown below. a. (3 points) Identify the period, amplitude and midline of f(x). Period: Amplitude: Midline: b. (5 points) Use the information you found in part (a) to write a sine function. c. (5 points) Use the information you found in part (a) to write a cosine function.
Find the amplitude, period, and phase shift of the function y = 3 sin(3x - π). Describe the transformations required to graph the function.
Determine the amplitude and phase shift for each function, and sketch at least one cycle of the graph. Label five points as done in the examples. $$y=\frac{1}{3} \cos x$$
