is it true that the curve y=2sin(x) is twice as long than y=sin(x)

Directrix (directrix):

What is the amplitude of this: y=2sin(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[0,2pi]

Directrix (directrix):

That is the period of y = sin(x), isn't it?

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the two graphs:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its for both y=sinx and for y=2sinx

sam (.sam.):

"Twice as long" could be amplitude or period. but mostly its refering period, so if its really twice as long then its\[y=\sin(\frac{x}{2}) ~~~ \text{is twice as long as } ~~~ y=\sin(x)\]

sam (.sam.):

So @Ygarcia28 your question is false

sam (.sam.):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you i got that as well

sam (.sam.):

But if "Twice as long" is referring to Amplitude then its true. But that's not possible because usually we use amplitude as "Twice as large" not "long"
