  1. Trigonometric Functions

  2. Information

  3. Periodic functions A function with a pattern that repeats at regular intervals is called a periodic function. The length of the interval over which a periodic function repeats is called the period of the function. What is the period of the function shown above? period = 4

  4. Trigonometric functions of real numbers The trigonometric functions are common periodic functions. For any real numberθ, the trigonometric functions are defined: sinθ = y/r cosθ = x/r tanθ = y/x where x and y are the coordinates of any point P(x, y) on the terminal ray of an angle of θradians when it is in standard position, and r is the distance from the origin to P. r θ In particular, if P is on the unit circle: sinθ = y cosθ = x tanθ = y/x

  5. The graph of sinθ

  6. Sine parent function: f(x) = sinx (– ∞, ∞) domain: range: [–1, 1] asymptotes: none period: 2π roots: x = nπ maxima: x = π⁄2 +2nπ minima: x = –π⁄2 +2nπ for every integern Is sinx an even or odd function?

  7. The graph of cosθ

  8. Cosine parent function: f(x) = cosx (– ∞, ∞) domain: [–1, 1] range: asymptotes: none period: 2π roots: x = π⁄2 +nπ maxima: x = 2nπ minima: x = π+2nπ for every integern Is cosx an even or odd function?

  9. The graph of tanθ

  10. Tangent parent function: f(x) = tanx (nπ–π⁄2 , nπ+π⁄2 ) domain: (– ∞, ∞) range: period: π roots: x = nπ horizontal asymptotes: none vertical asymptotes: x = π⁄2 +nπ for every integern Is tanx an even or odd function?

  11. Amplitude and midline A key feature of a periodic function is its amplitude. The amplitude of a periodic function is half the difference between the minimum and maximum y values, (maxy – miny)/2. amplitude midline The midline of a periodic function is the line at the midpoint of the range. y = miny + (maxy – miny)/2 What is the amplitude of the graph shown? What is the equation of its midline?

  14. Transformations and key features

  15. Analyzing functions Graph f(x)= –3cos2x. 1) Find the domain, range, period and amplitude. 2) Find the x-values where the minimum and maximum values occur in the interval [0, 2π]. 3) State the zeros in the interval [0, 2π]. (– ∞, ∞) 1) domain: range: [– 3, 3] period: π amplitude: 3 2) minima: x = 0, π, 2π maxima: x = π/2, 3π/2 3) zeroes: x =π/4, 3π/4, 5π/4, 7π/4
