4.4.1
Transformations of Functions The principles of transformations of functions apply to trigonometric functions and can be summarized as follows: Vertical Stretch y = af(x) y = a sin x changes the amplitude to | a | Horizontal Stretch y = f(bx) y = sin bx changes the period Vertical Translation y = f(x) + k y = sin x + k shifts the curve vertically k units upward when k > 0 and k units downward when k < 0 shifts the curve horizontally h units to the left when h > 0 and h units to the right when h < 0 4.4.2
Horizontal Translation y = f(x + h) y = sin (x + h)
Transforming a Trigonometric Function Graph y = sin x + 2 and y = sin x - 3.
y = sin x + 2
y = sin x - 3
The range for y = sin x + 2 is 1 y 3. The range for y = sin x - 3 is -4 y -2.

Transforming a Trigonometric Function
y = sin x
A horizontal translation of a trigonometric function is called a phase shift.
