Graphing Sine with Period Change and Reflection

The video tutorial explains how to graph the function F(x) = -1/2 sin(x/2). It covers key concepts such as amplitude, period, and critical points. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate these values and graph the function, including transformations like reflection over the x-axis. The process involves understanding the function's amplitude, determining the period, identifying critical points, and graphing one complete cycle. The video concludes with a demonstration of graphing two complete periods.
