3. Amplitude of Sine and Cosine Functions The amplitude of the functions y = A sin  and y = A cos  is the absolute value of A The tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant functions do not have amplitudes because their values increase and decrease without bound.

4. State the amplitude of the function y = 3 cos  Graph  y  3 cos  y = cos  on the same set of axes. Compare the graphs. According to the definition of amplitude, A = 3.

5. Period The period of a function is the distance on the x-axis it takes a function to go through one complete cycle. The period of the functions y = sin k  and y = cos k  is: 360° k The period of the function y = tan k  is: 180° k

6. State the period of the function y = sin 4 . Then graph the function and y = sin  on the same set of axes. By definition, the period of the sin function is 360°/k. Period = 360°/4 = 90° This means the function y = sin 4  goes through one complete cycle in 90°.

7. Phase Shift Phase shift moves the graph of the function horizontally. The phase shift of the function y = A sin (k  + c) is: - ckck If c > 0 the shift is to the left. If c < 0 the shift is to the right. This applies to all the trigonometric functions.

8. State the phase shift of the function y = tan (  – 45). Then graph the function and y = tan  on the same axes and compare. The phase shift is – c/k. - - 45 1 = 45° Since c is less than 0 the shift is to the right.
