Sketch at least one cycle of the graph of the function yequalssine left parenthesis StartFraction pi Over 3 EndFraction x plus StartFraction 5 pi Over 3 EndFraction right parenthesis . Determine the​ period, phase​ shift, and range of the function. Identify five points on the graph.

Solution

To analyze the given function:

y=sin(π3x+5π3)y = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{3}x + \frac{5\pi}{3} \right)

Step 1: Identify key parameters of the sine function

The general form of a sine function is:

y=Asin(Bx+C)+Dy = A \sin(Bx + C) + D

Where:

  • AA is the amplitude
  • BB affects the period
  • CC affects the phase shift
  • DD is the vertical shift (if any)

Step 2: Determine the period

The period TT of a sine function is given by:

T=2πBT = \frac{2\pi}{|B|}

For the function y=sin(π3x+5π3)y = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{3}x + \frac{5\pi}{3} \right), the value of BB is π3\frac{\pi}{3}, so the period is:

T=2ππ3=2ππ3=6T = \frac{2\pi}{\left| \frac{\pi}{3} \right|} = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{3}} = 6

Thus, the period of the function is 6.

Step 3: Determine the phase shift

The phase shift is given by:

Phase shift=CB\text{Phase shift} = -\frac{C}{B}

In the given function, C=5π3C = \frac{5\pi}{3} and B=π3B = \frac{\pi}{3}. Therefore, the phase shift is:

Phase shift=5π3π3=5\text{Phase shift} = -\frac{\frac{5\pi}{3}}{\frac{\pi}{3}} = -5

Thus, the phase shift is 5 units to the left.

Step 4: Determine the range

The range of the sine function is determined by its amplitude. Since no vertical shift is indicated (the value of DD is 0), the range remains the same as a standard sine function, i.e.,:

[ \text{Range}
