Question 1040796: Whats an example of an equation of a trigonometric function which has a phase shift of -45°. Can you attach a graph of this function that includes its parent graph? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=sin (x+pi/4). Here, sin (bx+c), the phase shift is -c/b or -pi/4, which is 45 degrees.
The parent graph is y=sin x
The second graph shows the sin starting from -45 degrees or just under 1 radian (abscissa is radian scale)
One way to look at it is to see what it takes to make the sine 0, and here it would be to start at -pi/4 for x, for then the sin will be of 0, and that is 0.
