Determine the Amplitude of Your Graph
Introduction & Importance
Determining the amplitude of a graph is crucial in understanding the range of values a function takes on. It’s the maximum distance from the midline (or mean) of the graph. This calculator helps you find that quickly and easily.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the amplitude (a), phase shift (b), and vertical shift (c) values of your graph.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
- See your results below the calculator.
Formula & Methodology
The formula for a sine wave is y = a * sin(bx – c). The amplitude (a) is the maximum value of the function, which can be found using the formula: a = max(y) – min(y).
