Objective:
SWBAT graph the sine and cosine functions with variations in amplitude and periods.

3. This periodic graph represents a normal heartbeat.
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.

4. Sine and Cosine Functions
We 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.

5. Vocabulary
Sin 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)

6. 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) y x
sin x x 1 -1

7. 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).

8. Amplitude
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.
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|.

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
