  1. Select the sine tool or the cosine tool .
  2. Click or tap inside the graph or press Enter to enter the function.
  3. Make sure the waveform is selected (the line is orange):

    sine wave with box to enter amplitude, period, and phase shift

  4. Depending on the function:
    • Use the slider or change the value in the text box to adjust the amplitude of the curve.
    • Use a slider or change the value in an answer box to adjust the period of the curve.
    • Use the Vertical Shift slider to move the entire wave vertically.
    • Enter a value in the Horizontal Shift text box to move the entire wave horizontally.
    • Select a Flip checkbox to invert the wave over the x- or y-axis.
