\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+3sin%282x%29%2B2\"

\n" ); document.write( "Graph the function by looking at how the parent function sin(x) is modified.

\n" ); document.write( "The order of the transformations is the order in which you would evaluate the function for a given value of x. The \"3\" is a multiplication; the \"(2x)\" is in parentheses; the \"+2\" is addition. According to standard rules of order of operations, the order is (1) parentheses, (2) multiplication, and (3) addition.

\n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph of the parent function sin(x):

\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C200%2C0%2C2pi%2C-6%2C6%2Csin%28x%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "First transformation: parentheses

\n" ); document.write( "sin(2x) compared to sin(x) means the graph completes two periods instead of one on [0,2pi] -- i.e., the period of the function is cut in half, from 2pi to pi. Note this is often viewed as a horizontal compression by a factor of 2.

\n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph of sin(2x):

\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C200%2C0%2C2pi%2C-6%2C6%2Csin%282x%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Second transformation: multiplication

\n" ); document.write( "3sin(2x) compared to sin(2x) stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 3.

\n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph of 3sin(2x):

\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C200%2C0%2C2pi%2C-6%2C6%2C3sin%282x%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Third transformation: addition

\n" ); document.write( "3sin(2x)+2 compared to 3sin(2x) translates the graph vertically by 2 units.

\n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph of 3sin(2x)+2:

\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C200%2C0%2C2pi%2C-6%2C6%2C3sin%282x%29%2B2%29\"
