Explore how trigonometric graphs change under common transformations in this quiz on sine, cosine, and tangent functions. Test your understanding of amplitude, period, frequency, reflections across the x-axis, and horizontal and vertical shifts. Questions examine functions such as 3sin(x), cos(2x), tan(x) + 4, sin(4x), sin(x - π/2), and -2sin(x) + 5. You will identify how coefficients and constants affect a graph’s height, cycle length, position, and direction. This quiz is ideal for students building confidence with graphing and interpreting transformed trigonometric functions.

The amplitude of a sine function a*sin(x) is given by the absolute value of a. In this case, it's 3.
A negative sign before a function like y = -sin(x) reflects the graph over the x-axis.
The period of cos(kx) is 2π/k. For cos(2x), the period is π.
A function of the form f(x) = tan(x) + c implies a vertical shift. Here, it's shifted 4 units upwards.
Frequency is the reciprocal of the period. Given f(x) = sin(4x), the period is π/2, making the frequency 4.
The function sin(x - c) results in a horizontal shift right if c is negative. Here, right by π/2 units.
The term +5 indicates a vertical shift upward by 5 units.
The constant +1 indicates a vertical shift upward by 1 unit.
The period of sin(kx) is 2π/k. For sin(x/3), the period is 6π.
The coefficient before sin(x) gives an amplitude of 2, and +3 indicates an upward shift of 3.
