How to graph sin waves?

A sine wave, or sinusoid, is the graph of the sine function in trigonometry.

A sinusoid is the name given to any curve that can be written in the form

the equation is

Sinusoidal Function:

|A| = amplitude

B = cycles from 0 to

period =

D = vertical shift (or displacement)

C = horizontal shift (sometimes called "phase shift" when B = 1)
