Amplitude The amplitude of the functions  y  =  A sin   and  y  =  A cos   is the absolute value of  A . The amplitude of a graph can be described as the absolute value of one-half the difference of the maximum and minimum function values.

14.2 Translations of Trig Graphs
The graph of  y  =  A  sin ( B x  –  C ) is obtained by horizontally shifting the graph of  y  =  A  sin  B x  so that the starting point of the cycle is shifted from  x  = 0 to  x  =  C / B . The number  C / B  is called the  phase shift . amplitude = |  A | period =  2    / B . x y Amplitude: |  A | Period:   2  / B The Graph of y = Asin(Bx - C) y  =  A  sin  Bx Starting point:  x  =  C/B
Example Determine the amplitude, period, and phase shift of y = 2sin(3x-  ) Solution: Amplitude = |A| = 2 period = 2  /B = 2  /3 phase shift = C/B =   /3
Example cont. y = 2sin(3x-   )

Phase Shift A phase shift is simply a horizontal change. The phase shift of the function  y  =  A  cos k (   +  C ) is C.  If  C  > 0, the shift is to the left.  If  C  < 0, the shift is to the right.
Example State the phase shift of the following function.  Then sketch the function and  y  = cos    on the same coordinate plane.
Vertical Shift A vertical shift is simply a vertical change. The vertical shift of the function  y  =  A sin k   +  C  is C.  If  C  > 0, the shift is up.  If  C  < 0, the shift is down.
Example State the vertical shift of the following function.  Then sketch the function and  y  = cos    on the same coordinate plane.
Practice State the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift of the following function.
