y = sin(2x - p)
has a phase shift of
to the right because
if you factor out the coefficient of x in the parentheses, like this:
y = sin[2(x -
)]
If after factoring out the coefficient it contains (x - A) its phase
shift is A units right
If it had contained (x + A) its phase shift would have been A units
to the left.
It's the same with the other trig functions.
