5.1 Graphs of Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions


here's an interesting song! haha:) it's quite entertaining! Well, that is the primary trigonometry identities: [SOH,CAH,TOA]
Sin x = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cos x = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tan x = Opposite / Adjacent

  • Basic graphs of trigonometric functions are:
Sine Graph





Cosine Graph




Tangent Graph


  • Graphs y = sin x, y = cos x, y = tan x are periodic.
 
Original Graph
y = sin x
y = cos x
y = tan x
+ vertical translation
v  Moves upward/downwards by c units
y = sin x + c
y = cos x + c

+ amplitude
v  Amplitude increases/decreases by a factor
y = a sin x
y = a cos x
No amplitude because there is no max/min value
+ phase shift
v  Shifts by d units to the left/right
y = sin (x-d)
y = cos (x-d)

+ period (k-value)
v  Number of cycles in one period
y = sin kx
y = cos kx
π
