The range is 5y1

Explanation:

In the function y=sin(b(x+c))+d, the two parameters that will influence the range are a and d, which are the amplitude and vertical transformation, respectively.

The function y=sinx has an amplitude of 1 and a vertical transformation of 0, for example. Since the sine function rotates around the centre line which will be at y=0 (due to the vertical transformation), the range will be 1y1.

With our function, the amplitude is |2|=2 and the vertical transformation brings the centre line down to y=3. Hence, the minimum values will be y=32=5 and our maximum values will be y=3+2=1.

The range is therefore 5y1.

Hopefully this helps!
