Consider the general form of a transformed sine function, y=asin b(x-h)+k.
Let's consider the given function.
y=3sin 2(x+Ï€/2)-5
Now we will compare our function with the general form of a transformed sine function.
Since k= - 5, the graph of the given function translates the graph of y=3sin 2x down by 5 units. The horizontal translation of a periodic function is called a phase shift. Therefore, h= - π2 tells us that there is a phase shift of π2 units to the left.
Finally, we will draw the obtained graph in the interval from 0 to 2Ï€. We will extend the current pattern to 2Ï€ and restrict the domain to only positive values of x.
