In words, how are the changes of the function y = d + a*sin(bx - c) related to the changes for each constant? Can you provide a quick summary? Thanks!
-----------------
Rewrite as y = d + a*sin(b(x-(c/b))
-----
|a| determines the amplitude
b determines the period:: Period = (2pi)/b
-(c/b) determines the horizontal shift
d determines the vertical shift
