Properties of the Sine Function • 1. The domain is the set of all real numbers • 2. The range consists of all real numbers from -1 to 1. • 3. The sine function is an odd function (symmetric with respect to origin) • 4. The sin function is periodic, with period 2π. • 5. The x-intercepts are -2 π, π, 0, π, 2 π . . . • 6. The y-intercept is . • 7. The maximum value is 1 and occurs at
Properties of the Cosine Function • 1. The domain is the set of all real numbers • 2. The range consists of all numbers from -1 to 1 • 3. The cosine function is an even function (symmetric with respect to the y-axis) • 4. The cosine function is periodic, with period 2π • 5. The x-intercepts are • 6. The y-intercept is 1. • 7. The maximum value is 1 and occurs at -2π,0,2 π, 4 π; • the minimum value is -1 and occurs at x = - π, π, 3 π
Sinusoidal Graphs • Because of the similarity, the graphs of sine and cosine functions are referred to as sinusoidal graphs.
Theorem • If ω>0, the amplitude and period of • y = A sin (ωx) and y = A cos (ωx) are given by • Amplitude = |A| and • Period = T = 2π/ ω
Finding the Amplitude and Period and Graphing It • y = -4 cos (πx) • y = 3 sin (4x) • y = 2 sin (- π/2 x)
Finding an Equation for a Graph • p. 425
