3.4-3.8 Flashcards
axis’ of sin and cos graphs
x - angle
y - output
regularities of a sin graph
origin (0,0)
max @ 1
amp of 1
midline @ y=0
period 2pi
midline
halfway between max and min
amplitude
distance from midline to max/min
period
length of one complete cycle
frequency
reciprocal of the period
regularities of a cos graph
origin (0,1)
max @ 1
amp of 1
midline @ y=0
period 2pi
sinusoidal function
any function involving the transformations of a sin (or cos)
cos(theta)=
sin(theta + pi/2)
transformations
midline, vertical translation
amplitude, vertical dilation
period, horizontal dilation
vertical dilations: stretches vs. compressions
a>1, stretch
0<a<1 compression
to find b (horizontal dilation)
set given period = 2pi/b
a
vertical dilation (amplitude)
d
vertical translation (midline)
b
horizontal dilation by a factor of 1/b
