Sample Question 1
The function y = sin(x) + 4 is a vertical translation of y = sin(x). What is the midline of the new function?

Y = 0

Y = −4

Y = 1

Y = 4

Sample Question 2
The graph of y = cos(x) is shifted down 6 units. Which equation represents the new function?

Y = cos(x) + 6

Y = cos(x) − 6

Y = 6cos(x)

Y = cos(x − 6)

Sample Question 3
Consider f(x) = 3sin(x) − 2. What are the amplitude and midline?

Amplitude 3; midline y = −2

Amplitude 2; midline y = 3

Amplitude 1; midline y = −2

Amplitude 3; midline y = 0
