Math Unit 6 Test Flashcards
Periodic Function:
- a consistent, repetitive pattern of y-values for incremental changes in x-values
- repeats at regular intervals
Cycle:
ONE concrete pattern (the portion of the graph that repeats)
Period:
the horizontal length of one cycle (p=360°/k for the Trig Graphs)
Amplitude:
- the height going from “the middle horizontal line” (equation of the axis) to your maximum or minimum value
- A = (max value - min value) ÷ 2
- or A = max value - # equation of the axis
Equation of the Axis:
- the horizontal line that divides the graph in half, notice it does not have to be symmetrical
- y = max value + min value/2
Periodic:
- The shape of the graph repeats over some interval
- Repetitive y-values for consistent increases of x-values
Non-periodic:
No repeated pattern on y-values
y = sin x
middle, up, middle, down, middle
Key Properties: f(x) = sin x
Amplitude: 1 - (1-(-1)/2)
y-intercept: (0,0)
Maximum: 1
Domain: {x ∈ R}
Equation of the axis: y = 0
Period: 360°
x-intercept: (0°,0), (180°,0), (360°,0)
Minimum: -1
Range: {y ∈ R | -1≤ y ≤ 1}
f(x) = sin x, five key points:
(0°,0) (90°,1) (180°,0) (270°,-1) (360°,0)
y = cos x
up, middle, down, middle, up
Key Properties: f(x) = cos x
Amplitude: 1 (1-(-1)/2)
y-intercept: (0,1)
Maximum: 1
Domain: {x ∈ R}
Equation of the axis: y = 0
Period: 360°
x-intercept: (90°,0), (270°,0)
Minimum: -1
Range: {y ∈ R | -1≤ y ≤ 1}
f(x) = cos x, five key points:
(0°,1) (90°,0) (180°,-1) (270°,0) (360°,1)
How are these functions alike and different? (sin & cos)
Same curve pattern, same period, the same maximum and minimum value
y = cos x is a 90° shift to the left of the y = sin x
Amplitude:
(lesson 3)
the height from the center line to the peak (or to the trough)
the height from highest to lowest points divided by 2
Period:
(lesson 3)
goes from one peak to the next (or from any point to the next matching point)
