True or False: When the graph of the parent function f(x) = sin x is reflected across the y-axis, its period and amplitude change. Explain.

False. When the graph of the parent function f(x) = sin x is reflected across the y-axis, its period and amplitude do not change. The graph is simply a mirror image of the original graph, with the same points and shape, but opposite signs. The period and amplitude remain the same because reflecting across the y-axis does not affect the horizontal or vertical stretching or compressing factors that determine these properties.
