Graphing Trig Functions 10/12



*other graphs will change from these two original graphs

*basic form

A sin (or cos) b (x-c) + d


Notes- Graphing Trig Functions

1. amplitude

2. period (P = 2∏/B)

3. increment (P/4)

4. vertical translation (midline)

5. horizontal translation (starting point)

Examples:

f(x) = 3cos (x/2 - ∏/6) + 1

doesn’t look like basic form – so factor out ½

f(x) = 3cos ½ (x - ∏/3) + 1

amplitude= 3

period= 2∏/B = 2∏/ ½ = 4∏

increment= 4∏/ 4 = ∏

vertical translation = up one unit (midline)

horizontal translation = right ∏/3 (starting point)

*when graphing scale based on the increment

Y= -2 sin ∏/3 (x - 2) + 1

Amplitude = 2 (the negative cause the graph to begin down rather than upward )

Period = 2∏/ ∏/3 = 6

Increment= 6/4 or 1.5

Vertical= up one unit

Horizontal right two units


Homework

Page 439 in book, #’s 45-52

Do by hand then check with your calculator

Review for quiz (optional)

Page 708; 68-74, 85-94, 99, 100, 107, 108

Page 479: 1-48, 51-54

What you need to know:

Functions: operations on functions, composition, inverses and transformations

Trig: right triangle trig, and unit circle

*there will be a non-calculator portion
