Chapter 4Graphs of the Circular Functions
Section 4.1 Graphs of the Sine and Cosine Functions
Objective:SWBAT graph the sine and cosine functions with variations in amplitude and periods.
Periodic Functions
Many things in daily life repeat with a predictable pattern, such as weather, tides, and hours of daylight.
This periodic graph represents a normal heartbeat.
A function that repeats itself after a specific period of time is called a Periodic Function. Sine and Cosine
functions are periodic functions.
Sine and Cosine FunctionsWe are going to deconstruct the Unit circle and graph the sine and cosine functions on graph… Remember: Cosine is in the “x” spot in an ordered pair
and Sine is in the “y” spot.
VocabularySin wave - is a repetitive change or motion which, when plotted as a graph, has the same shape as the sine function. Amplitude - is the maximum distance it ever reaches from zero.
Period - is the time it takes to perform one complete cycle. (2π for cosine and sin)
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. (5 total)

Sine Function f(x) = sin x The graph is continuous over its entire domain,
(–, ). Its x-intercepts are of the form n, where n is an
integer.
Its period is 2.
The graph is symmetric with respect to the origin, so the function is an odd function. For all x in the domain, sin(–x) = –sin(x).
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| > 1, the amplitude stretches the graph vertically.
If 0 < |a| > 1, the amplitude shrinks the graph vertically.
If a < 0, the graph is reflected in the x-axis.
Amplitude
The graph of y = a sin x or y = a cos x, with a 0, will have the same shape as the graph of y = sin x or y = cos x, respectively, except the
range will be [|a|, |a|]. The amplitude is |a|.
Example: Graph y = 3 sin x compare to y = sin x.
Make a table of values.

Amplitude
The range of y = 3sin x is [–3, 3].

Period
For b > 0, the graph of y = sin bx will resemble that of
y = sin x, but with
period
Divide the interval into four equal parts to
obtain the values for which sin bx equal –1, 0, or 1.
(These values give the minimum points, x-intercepts, and maximum points on the graph)
GRAPHING y = sin bx
Graph y = sin 2x and compare to the graph of y = sin x.
The coefficient of x is 2, so b = 2, and the period is
The endpoints are 0 and and the three points between the endpoints are
