How do you graph #y = 1/4 + sin x#? Trigonometry Graphing Trigonometric Functions General Sinusoidal Graphs 1 Answer GiĆ³ Aug 15, 2015 This is a normal #sin# only shifted up of #1/4#: Explanation: The normal #sin# oscilates around the #x# axis repeating itself every #2pi=6.28rad# as: If you "add" #1/4# to every point you will end up with the same graph but oscllating around the line passing through #y=1/4#, as: Answer link Related questions What does sinusoidal mean?
