How to find the Horizontal Shift, C, of sinusoidal equations?

I am unsure of how to find the Horizontal Shift, C, in a sinusoidal equation.





y = Asin(B + C) + D





I've been working through problems and looked at a few resources (books and online) to help me but most of them breeze through how to get the horizontal shift and I can't seem to find where the numbers come from.





Anyone have any examples or suggestions on resources I could use? I am able to find the other numbers but just need help with horizontal shift.





Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Horizontal shift of a sine graph is the C. To shift it C units to the left, you would have a positive C while to shift it C units to the right you have to have a negative C
