See answer below

Explanation:

Given: #y = sin(2 theta)#

The standard equation of a sine function looks like:

#y = A sin (B(theta - C)) + D#, where #A = #amplitude,

#B = (2 pi)/"period"#, #" "C = "phase shift and "D = "vertical shift"#

In the given equation:

#A = 1; " "period = (2 pi)/B = (2 pi)/2 = pi#

On a graphing calculator make sure you are in radian MODE.
