Understanding Sine Function Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to plot points on the graph of the function y = 2sin(1/4x) - 1, focusing on maxima, minima, and midline intersections. It uses a unit circle to visualize when the sine function reaches specific values and solves for x to find these points. The tutorial also demonstrates how to graph these points and verify their accuracy using a tool.

What is the function given in the video for plotting points?

• y = 2sin(1/4x) - 1

• y = 2cos(1/4x) - 1

• y = 2sin(x) - 1

• y = sin(1/4x) + 1
