Graphing Trig Functions

Trigonometric Functions

Objectives

In this lesson, you will learn to:

  • Identify the basic 1-period graphs of \(y = \sin(x)\) and \(y = \cos(x)\).
  • Identity the transformations of trig graphs.
  • Sketch a 1-period transformed graph of sine and cosine functions, and identify the 5 key points of the graph.
  • Determine an equation for a given sine or cosine graph.
  • Identify and sketch the graph of the other trigonometric functions.
  • Solve problems involving harmonic motion.
