How would you find the period of this equation #y = 5 sin 2x#? Trigonometry Graphing Trigonometric Functions Translating Sine and Cosine Functions 1 Answer Daniel L. Mar 25, 2018 See explanation. Explanation: The period of a function #f(x)=sin(ax)# is #a# times smaller than the period of #sinx#, so here the period is: #T=(2pi)/2=pi# Answer link Related questions How do you graph sine and cosine functions when it is translated?
