Sketch on the same axes graphs ofsint,sin(t-Ï€/2), andsin(t+Ï€/2), and observe which way the graph shifts. Hint: You can, of course, have your calculator or computer plot these for you, but it's simpler and much more useful to do it in your head. Hint: What values of tmake the sines equal to zero? For an even simpler example, sketch on the same axesy=t,y=t-Ï€/2,y=t+Ï€/2.
