Recall that the outer 3 helps determine the amplitude

The larger the value, the larger the amplitude

VERTICAL?

rhondasommer · Answer

whoops caps. and i sent that at the same time as you did :P

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I also recommend comparing the graphs of

y = 1*sin(x)
y = 3*sin(x)

using desmos

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

it's not a vertical shift. That's what D does

D = 0 in this case, so we have no vertical shift

rhondasommer · Answer

i meant stretch not sift

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes vertical stretch is correct
