What is the vertical shift in a trigonometric function?

Back

The vertical shift is the midpoint between the maximum and minimum values of the function.

How do you determine the amplitude of a trigonometric function?

Back

The amplitude is the distance from the midline (vertical shift) to the maximum or minimum value.

What is the relationship between the string length and the amplitude in a yo-yo model?

Back

The amplitude is half the length of the string if the yo-yo swings from the highest to the lowest point.
