How do you write an equation of #y=sinx# with 3 units up? Trigonometry Graphing Trigonometric Functions Translating Sine and Cosine Functions 1 Answer Ion · Stefan V. Nov 19, 2017 #y= (sinx) + 3# Explanation: The original function is #y= sinx# When applying a vertical translation up by #3# units, it is moving the original function up and moving the #y#-intercept up also. Therefore, #y= (sinx) + 3# Answer link Related questions How do you graph sine and cosine functions when it is translated? How do you graph #y=sin ( x -frac{\pi}{2} )#?
