Sinusoidal Function Transformations in AP Precalculus

The video tutorial covers sinusoidal function transformations, focusing on amplitude, midline, period, and frequency. It explains how these elements affect the graph of sinusoidal functions. The tutorial includes practice problems to illustrate these concepts, demonstrating how to calculate and graph sinusoidal functions with different parameters, including shifts in the midline and changes in amplitude and period.

What does changing the coefficient in front of Theta in a sinusoidal function affect?

• The frequency

• The period

• The midline

• The amplitude
