Amplitude, Period and Phase Shift of the Sine Function

This applet illustrates the Amplitude (a), Period (2π/b) and Phase Shift (c) of the sine function f(x) = a sin(bx + c).

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and active in your browser (Click here to install Java now)

Move the sliders for a, b and c to illustrate ths effect of different values of these numbers on the graph of f (in black). Fro the sake of comparison, the simple sine curve y = sin x is illustrated in red.
