TOPIC 01

The function y=A sin(ωx+φ)

Build understanding of the function y=a sin(ωx+φ) through definitions, contrasting cases and justified applications.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

y=A\sin x+c,\quad y_{\max}=7,\quad y_{\min}=1

Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Separate amplitude, internal frequency, phase and vertical shift.

Hint 2

Amplitude is half the peak-to-trough distance.

Worked solution

The requested value is 3.

Checks and common pitfalls: The midline is the average of the two extreme values.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Use the function y=a sin(ωx+φ) with explicit angle units and domains.
Scale and cycle: Amplitude is |A|; for a nonconstant graph the least positive period is 2π/|ω|.
Phase shift: Factor ω to read the horizontal shift −φ/ω.
Close with: conditions → representation → reasoning → check.

Expected reasoning: Amplitude is |A|; for a nonconstant graph the least positive period is 2π/|ω|.
Expected reasoning: Factor ω to read the horizontal shift −φ/ω.
Expected correction: A constant graph has no least positive period.
