What’s the difference between the graphs f(x)=sin x and g(x)= sin (x-pi)

1 answer

The difference between the graphs of f(x) = sin x and g(x) = sin (x - π) lies in a horizontal shift.

The graph of f(x) = sin x is the basic sine function. It starts at the origin (0,0) and oscillates between -1 and 1 as x varies.

On the other hand, the graph of g(x) = sin (x - π) is a horizontally shifted version of f(x). The term "(x - π)" inside the sine function causes the graph to shift to the right by π units. This means that every point on the graph of f(x) is shifted horizontally by π units to obtain the graph of g(x).

In other words, g(x) = sin (x - π) is a delayed version of f(x) = sin x. It starts at (π, 0) and oscillates between -1 and 1 as x varies.
