Transformations of Trigonometric Functions

This tutorial covers the transformations of trigonometric graphs, focusing on sine, cosine, and tangent functions. It explains how to apply vertical translations to these graphs by adding or subtracting a constant value. The tutorial provides examples and encourages viewers to practice sketching the transformed graphs. The session concludes with a summary of the transformation principles.
