Sinusoidal Modeling (Set Calculators to DEGREE mode)
Transformations of Sinusoidal Functions Amplitude |a|: a controls vertical stretching/shrinking Period p can be in radians or degrees: p is the horizontal length to complete one cycle Horizontal shift b can be in radians or degrees: b controls horizontal stretching/shrinking Vertical shift d: +d , shift d units up –d , shift d units down Horizontal phase shift c (proportionally scaled to 2 radians or 360): –c, shift c units right +c, shift c units left where, xstart corresponds with the first point of the sine or cosine cycle
