Can someone help me with the phase shift on this one? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y%3Dsin%28x%2Bpi%2F6%29

Question

no lol

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{\pi}{6}$$ to the left, from your eyeballs

anonymous · Answer

the graph of $y=f(x+c)$ looks like the graph of $y=f(x)$ shifted $c$ units to the left if $c>0$ and $c$ units to the right if (c<0\)

anonymous · Answer

Thank you for your help :)

@katiebugg haha :) thanks for looking at my post at least

anonymous · Answer

yep to the left.

any term inside the trig function, subtracted from the arguement, is the phase shift

if its + then its left and if its - then its to the right

Thanks! @grrB34R

hahaha ur welcome!!!

anonymous · Answer

in fact this has nothing to do with trig, it is just 'phase shift" because you have a trig function
works the same way for $y=x^2$ and $y=(x+2)^2$ which is shifted 2 units to the left
