Investigation of The Effects of Parameters A, K, D and C On The Graph of The Function

1) The document discusses the effects of various parameters (a, k, d, c) on trigonometric functions like y=asin(k(x-d))+c. It explains that a controls vertical stretch or compression while k controls horizontal stretch or compression. 2) It states that 360 divided by k gives the period length and discusses when functions experience vertical or horizontal stretch and compression based on the values of a and k. 3) The document also notes that c controls vertical shifting while d controls horizontal shifting, and describes the direction of shift based on the sign of c and d.
