Amplitude: The amplitude of a periodic function is the maximum distance from its average value. It measures how high or low the graph goes.
Frequency: Frequency is the number of cycles or repetitions that occur within a given time period. It determines how often the pattern repeats.
Periodic Function: A periodic function is one that exhibits periodicity, meaning it has a repeating pattern over and over again.
