What is the Amplitude, Period, Phase shift and vertical shift? how do I simplify the trigonometric equation to graph? y=2sin(3x+pie) +2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You dont need to simplify this to graph this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my teacher had y= 2sin 3( x + pie/3) +2 as the final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how he got \[\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait sorry. What did he get pi for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like how did he come up with pie/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the phase shift

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By looking at the graph? Is a graph provided in this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you trying to do in this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the amplitude is 2, the period is 2pi/3, the phase shift is left pi/3, and the vertical shift is up 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im just trying to understand where pi/3 for the phase shift came from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still dont understand your problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What exactly does your problem say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says find the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift for the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is y= 2 sin(3x+pi) + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a cos(bx - c) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know lol thats why I am asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how to find everything but I dont understand how my teacher got pi/3 for the phase shift as a final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a cos(bx - c) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi/3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought b is 2pi/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin(3x+pi) +2 3 is b pi is c c/b pi / 3

thanks
