Understanding Sin and Its Transformations

The video tutorial explores the graphing of trigonometric functions, specifically sin x and its transformations such as sin^2 x and the square root of sin x. It covers the identification of critical points, the effects of squaring functions, and introduces differentiation to understand gradients. The session encourages students to think critically about graphing techniques and the mathematical properties of these functions.
