Sinusoidal Graphs
Sinusoidal Graphs
Periodic Function
Graphs of sine and cosine functions.
Functions whose graphs have a repeating pattern.
Period The horizontal length of each cycle in a periodic graph.
Midline The horizontal line halfway between a sinusoid’s max/min values.
Characteristics of the Sine Function
• The domain is the set of all real numbers.• The range consists of all real numbers
from -1 to 1, inclusive.• The sine function is an odd function
(symmetric with respect to the origin).• The sine function has a period of 2π• Midline is the x-axis
Characteristics of the Cosine Function
• The domain is the set of all real numbers.• The range consists of all real numbers
from -1 to 1, inclusive.• The cosine function is an even function
(symmetric with respect to the y-axis).• The cosine function has a period of 2π• Midline is the x-axis
Writing Equations
Answer these questions first:
1. Is it a “sin” or “cos” graph?
2. What is the amplitude?
3. What is the period?
4. Is the graph reflected?
5. Is it shifted up/down?
6. Is it shifted left/right?
