The graph of $\"y+=+sin%28x%29\"$ is periodic with period $\"2pi\"$ and looks like this:\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28200%2C40%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-2%2C+2%2C+sin%28x%29%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph of $\"y+=+3%2Asin%28x%29\"$ is the same, except \"stretched\" by a factor of 3.\r
