You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Sketch the graph of a wave with a period of 0.5 and an amplitude of 3. 
*** 
Basic equation of sin wave:y=Asin(Bx-C), A=amplitude, period=2π/B, phase shift=C/B 
For given problem: 
A=3 
Period=2π/B=0.5 
1/4 period=.5/4=0.125 
B=2π/.5=4π 
Equation: y=3sin(4πx-C) 
Coordinates of graph for one period: 
(0,0), (.125,3), (.25,0), (.375,-3), (.5,0)
