I need to know if it’s A B C D OR E
The problem presented is:

**"What is the phase shift of the following function?"**

\( f(x) = 2 \sin(3x + 6) - 1 \)

With the following multiple-choice options:

- ○ -1
- ○ 3
- ○ 2
- ○ -2
- ○ -6

To calculate the phase shift of the given trigonometric function, we need to examine the argument of the sine function, \(3x + 6\).

The general form of a sine function with a phase shift is given by:

\[ y = a \sin(bx + c) + d \]

In this form:
- \( a \) is the amplitude.
- \( b \) is the frequency.
- \( c \) is the phase shift (horizontal shift).
- \( d \) is the vertical shift.

The phase shift \( \phi \) is calculated using the formula:

\[ \phi = -\frac{c}{b} \]

For our function \( f(x) = 2 \sin(3x + 6) - 1 \):
- \( b = 3 \)
- \( c = 6 \)

Applying the formula for phase shift:

\[ \phi = -\frac{6}{3} = -2 \]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

- ○ -2
