will have the following characteristics :
Amplitude :
.
Period :
.
Horizontal translation :
.
Vertical translation :
.
The trigonometric function is
.
Rewrite the function as
.
Compare the function with
.
.
Since
, the horizontal translation is
units left.
Draw a coordinate plane.
\Graph the functions in the same axis.
