Acompany monitored the number of major and minor earthquakes that occurred in a town. the graph below shows the number of monthly earthquakes in the town over 36 months. the function describing this graph is a transformation of the parent sine function, y = sin x. which value best describes the period of the transformed function?

Period is the time it takes for one “cycle” to complete. in the parent sine function, period is 2*pi since sin(0) = 0, sin(pi/2) = 1, sin(pi) = 0, sin(3pi/2) = -1, and sin(2pi) = 0. at that point, the sequence repeats itself. i’m not sure if your graph is similar to the sine function since you didn’t provide a picture, but you can find the period by looking at a graph.
