        The solution/answer by @MathLover1 in not completely correct.
        I came to fix an error in her solution.


Given function  f(x) =   is IDENTICAL to / (is the same as)

                f(x) = .


The parent finction is  a(x) = sin(x).


Amplitude of f(x) is 1.


Period of f(x) is .


Phase shift of f(x) is  0  (zero).


Vertical shift is  -2  (2 units down).

Solved.

--------------------

This problem is a  TRAP :   it has a huge underwater stone for unexperienced reader.

The sign  "-"  (minus)  before sine and the shift by    in the argument
mutually annihilate each other,  so the final function,  actually,  has no shift (!)

The meaning of the problem is to teach a reader recognizing
such traps to avoid falling into them in the future.
