Author: K.P. Satagopan

This book illustrates the effects of the parameters 'a' , 'b' , and 'c' on the graph of the function f(x) = a*sin(b*x+c) which respectively represent the amplitude, period or frequency, and phase shift of a trigonometric function. The activities are designed to understand the relationship between the parameters and the graph of the function.

Suggested Use: Visualize the roles of amplitude, frequency, and phase in trigonometric functions

Topics: amplitude, frequency, and phase in trigonometric functions
