what about phase shifts?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

before talking about trig, lets quickly consider \(y = x^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 sin (x-(pi/3))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if u shift right by 2 units, equation befomes : \(y = (x-2)^2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if u shift left by 2 units, equation befomes : \(y = (x+2)^2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

basically, if f(x) is the parent graph, and k is +ve then :- f(x-k) : shifts the graph RIGHT by k units f(x+k) : shifts the graph LEFT by k units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it up 2 right by (pi/3)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets not talk about up/down yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but u got it correct ! it shifts right by pi/3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

parent graph : sin(x) your graph : sin(x - pi/3) so your graph shifts the parent graph RIGHT by pi/3 units ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2 sin (x-(pi/3)) 2 here is for Amplitude. Not for shifting up/down

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2 says, that, the graph amplitude is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok got it
