43. y = 0.5 sin 3x
The standard curve is: y = A sin ,
where A = amplitude
T = time period.
Now look at the equation of the standard sine curve y = sin x, which can be rewritten as y = 1*sin . When you compare this equation to y = A sin , we get A = 1, T = 2. So the amplitude of this equation is 1 and the time period is
Now for the equation y = 0.5 sin 3x, when you compare this equation to y = A sin , we get A = 0.5 and T = . Therefore, when compared to y = sin x, the amplitude of this equation should be halved and the time period should be reduced to one-third. This is how we get the answer: starting from y = sinx, ...
