period=72^@=72

Explanation:

The general equation for a sine function is:

f(x)=asin[k(x-d)]+cf(x)=asin[k(xd)]+c

where:
|a|=|a|=amplitude
|k|=|k|=horizontal stretch/compression or 360^@/"period"360period
d=d=phase shift
c=c=vertical translation

In this case, the value of kk is 55. To find the period, use the formula, k=360^@/"period"k=360period:

k=360^@/"period"k=360period

5=360^@/"period"5=360period

5*"period"=360^@5period=360

"period"=360^@/5period=3605

"period"=72^@period=72

:., the period is 72^@.
