Understanding Sinusoidal Functions Concepts

The video tutorial covers manipulation in sinusoidal functions, focusing on the skeleton equation used for sine and cosine functions. It explains key components like amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift. The tutorial includes practical examples and encourages viewers to practice constructing equations from graphs.
