The video tutorial explains how to graph the function F(x) = sin(x/3). It covers the standard form of trigonometric graphs, focusing on the importance of amplitude and period. The tutorial details how to calculate the period and identify critical points, such as maximum, minimum, and x-intercepts. It also discusses the absence of phase shifts and vertical translations in this specific function. Finally, the video demonstrates graphing the sine function, highlighting the critical points and the behavior of the graph over two full periods.
