Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers sinusoidal functions, focusing on understanding and constructing equations in the forms f(x) = a sin(b(x + c)) + d and f(x) = a cos(b(x + c)) + d. It explains how to determine amplitude (a), frequency (b), horizontal shift (c), and vertical shift (d) from graphs and equations. The guide also provides practice problems and emphasizes key exam topics like transformations and common question types. Finally, it offers last-minute tips and strategies for the AP Precalculus exam.
