If anyone can help me understand trig more, let me know.

I'm not full retard, but I must say, trig is very confusing... I have the basics, but all of the transformations throw me off.

a transformation on a trig function is very similar to one on a normal function. I highly recommend looking outside of your trig book for information on it. below is a visualization and explanation that may help.

khan academy is one of the best resources for understanding a single concept that is hard to grasp

I love trig. Feel free to hit me up if you want some more help.

You can post them here, or pm me. Keep in mind it might take up to 24 hours for me to answer.
