Question
Use a graphing calculator to graph $Y_{1}=5 \sin x$ and $Y_{2}=\sin (5 x) .$ Is the following statement true based on what you see? $y=\sin (c x)$ has the same graph as $y=c \sin x$
Step 1
This function is a simple sine function, but its amplitude is multiplied by 5. This means that the graph will oscillate between -5 and 5, instead of the usual -1 and 1 for the standard sine function. Show more…
