In the function
y=4sin(3X+Pie/4)-2
what determines the period and phase shift?
I know that 4=Amplitude
The answer in the back of the textbook says
Period=2pie/3
Phase Shift=-pie/12

standard form:
A\sin (kx+\phi)
period is given by 2\pi/k

Yeah but i think it is better to do it this way, because not always you can immediately determine the period of a function based on that standard form. I think it is better to first know how to come up to that standard form.

so how do we know whether a function is periodic or not?

f(x+T)=f(x), where T is the period.
so after you substitute these values you will be able to find the period of that function, which is the same as ry122 said on his op.
 
dessert =/= a mathematical constant, Ry
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
