Vertical Stretch/compression

This document discusses key properties of trigonometric functions under parameter changes: 1) The a parameter causes vertical stretch (a > 1) or compression (0 < a < 1) along the y-axis, reflected in the x-axis when a is negative. 2) The k parameter causes horizontal stretch (0 < k < 1) or compression (k > 1) along the x-axis, reflected in the y-axis when k is negative. The period is 360 divided by k. 3) The c parameter vertically shifts the graph up (c positive) or down (c negative), while the d parameter causes horizontal shifting right (d positive) or left (d negative).
