Graph 2sin(2x)

Problem

y=2*sin(2*x)

Solution

1. Identify the amplitude by looking at the coefficient in front of the sine function. In y=A*sin(B*x) the amplitude is |A|

A=2

2. Determine the period of the function using the formula P=(2*π)/B Here, B=2

P=(2*π)/2=π

3. Calculate the phase shift and vertical shift. Since there are no constants added inside or outside the sine function, both shifts are zero.

Phase Shift=0

Vertical Shift=0

4. Find the key points for one cycle by dividing the period into four equal intervals. The interval width is π/4

x=0,π/4,π/2,(3*π)/4,π

5. Evaluate the function at these key points to find the corresponding yvalues.

(0,0),(π/4,2),(π/2,0),((3*π)/4,−2),(π,0)

6. Sketch the graph by plotting these points on a coordinate plane and connecting them with a smooth wave, then extending the pattern in both directions.

Final Answer

y=2*sin(2*x)
