Can someone explain to me how to get this correct?

OpenStudy (phi):

do you know what the plot of a "normal" sin(x) looks like ?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

actually no I dont

OpenStudy (phi):

I think they expect you to know see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine what is the "middle line" (I assume the line the sin seems to wiggle above and below) in their graph?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

alright let me see

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

@phi that would mean zero though?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, the zero is what the sin wanders around. I think that is what they mean by the middle line. the "middle line" is y=0 if you add pi to it, as in your problem, everything is shifted up by pi the middle line becomes y= 0+pi or just y= pi
