Move the slider to change the value of A.
Observe how the graph changes when the value of A changes.
Activity 1
Observation 1
Describe the change in the graph of y = sin x + A when the value of A increases from 0 to 3.
Observation 2
Sketch the graph after this transformation.
Observation 3:
Let (0, 0) be a point on the curve y = sin x + A. Observe and write down the new coordinates of this point after going through this transformation.
Label this point on the transformed graph that you have drawn in Observation 2.
Observation 4
Which value is changed?
Observation 5
What is the replacement of variable involved in transforming the graph of y = sin x to y = sin x + 3?
Replace y by ________.
Activity 2
Observation 1
Describe the change in the graph of y = sin x + A when the value of A decreases from 0 to −2.
Observation 2
Sketch the graph after this transformation.
Observation 3
Let (0, 0) be a point on the curve y = sin x. Observe and write down the new coordinates of this point after going through this transformation.
Label this point on the transformed graph that you have drawn in Observation 2.
Observation 4
Which value is changed?
Observation 5
What is the replacement of variable involved in transforming the graph of y = sin x to y = sin x − 2?
Replace y by ________.
