We can change the amplitude of these functions by multiplying the function by a constant A.

The amplitude of a sinusoidal trig function (sine or cosine) is it's 'height,' the distance from the average value of the curve to its maximum (or minimum) value. The graphs of the six basic trigonometric functions can be transformed by adjusting their amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift. Use the slider to zoom in or out on the graph, and drag to reposition.

The original base function will be drawn in grey, and the transformation in blue. Choose a base trigonometric function, then change its amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift using the inputs.
