#"period " =4pi," amplitude " =1#

Explanation:

The standard form of the #color(blue)"sine function"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=asin(bx+c)+d)color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"where amplitude " =|a|," period " =(2pi)/b#

#"phase shift " =-c/b" and vertical shift " =d#

#"here " a=1,b=1/2,c=0,d=0#

#rArr"period " =(2pi)/(1/2)=4pi" and amplitude " =|1|=1#
