What is the period, amplitude, and frequency for the graph f(x)=1+2sin(2(x+π))?

The general form of the sine function can be written as

f(x)=Asin(Bx±C)±D, where

|A| - amplitude;
B - cycles from 0 to 2π - the period is equal to 2πB
C - horizontal shift;
D - vertical shift

Now, let's arrange your equation to better match the general form:

f(x)=2sin(2x+2π)+1. We can now see that

Amplitude -A - is equal to 2, period -B - is equal to 2π2 = π, and frequency, which is defined as 1period, is equal to 1π.
