The amplitude is 6 the period 2pi.

Explanation:

sin(x) oscillate between -1 and +1 because it is constructed in the circle of radius 1. Then, when it is multiplied by 6 it will oscillate between -6 and +6, so the amplitude will be 6.

The period is when the function repeats its values. For the sin this happens after 2pi. The variable x is in the sin without any modification, so the period is still 2pi.
