let's recall the graph of sin(x), is simply a sinusoidal line waving about, but its midline is at the x-axis, namely y = 0.
this equation is simply a transformation of it, the 1/2 changes the amplitude by half, midline stays the same though, the +3, moves the whole thing upwards, a vertical shift of 3, meaning the midline went from 0 to 3, y = 3.
If you observe that 
, you can rewrite the expression as
Now, if you use the exponent rule 
, you may rewrite the expression again:
#7 is 0.04 and it is a terminating decimal
Understand that a function<span> is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a </span>function<span> is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.</span>
