Finding the equation of a sine or cosine curve from the graph
How to find each value… • a is the amplitude. (Max – Min) / 2 • b is found by 2π / Period • c is the horizontal translation of the curve. • d is the vertical translation of the curve. It is the same as the value of the principle axis; (Max + Min) / 2
Example 1 Write the curve above in the form: b a c d
Example 1 6 Amplitude =(Max – Min) /2 = (13 – 7) / 2 = 3 b a c d
Example 1 6 b = 2π / Period = 2π / (7 – 1) = π / 3 b c d
Example 1 c = horizontal translation = 1 c d
Example 1 d= vertical translation = 10 d
10 Amplitude =(Max – Min) /2 = (9 – -1) / 2 = 5 b a d c
4 b = 2π / Period = 2π / (5 – 1) = π / 2 b d c
c = horizontal translation = 1 d c
