Graphs of Trigonometric Functions Properties of Sine and Cosine Functions Sine Function Cosine Function Example: y = 3 cos x Amplitude Period of a Function Graph y = f(-x) Example: y = 2 sin(-3x) Tangent Function Example: Tangent Function Cotangent Function Secant Function Cosecant Function *Copyright ? by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc.

Properties of Sine and Cosine Functions The graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x have similar properties: 3. The maximum value is 1 and the minimum value is –1. 4. The graph is a smooth curve. 1. The domain is the set of real numbers. 5. Each function cycles through all the values of the range  over an x-interval of . 2. The range is the set of y values such that . Graph of the Sine Function To sketch the graph of y = sin x first locate the key points.These are the maximum points, the minimum points, and the intercepts. 0 -1 0 1 0 sin x 0 x Then, connect the points on the graph with a smooth curve that extends in both directions beyond the five points. A single cycle is called a period. y x y = sin x Graph of the Cosine Function To sketch the graph of y = cos x first locate the key points.These are the maximum points, the minimum points, and the intercepts. 1 0 -1 0 1 cos x 0 x Then, connect the points on the graph with a smooth curve that extends in both directions beyond the five points. A single cycle is called a period. y x y = cos x y x Example: Sketch the graph of y = 3 cos x on the interval [–?, 4?]. Partition the interval [0, 2?] into four equal parts. Find the five key points; graph one cycle; then repeat the cycle over the interval. max x-int min x-int max 3 0 -3 0 3 y = 3 cos x 2? ? 0 x (0, 3) ( , 0) ( , 0) ( , 3) ( , –3) The amplitude of y = a sin x (or y = a cos x) is half the distance between the maximum and minimum values of the function. amplitude = |a| If |a|
