Objective: In this lesson you learned how to sketch the graphs of sine
and cosine functions and translations of these functions.
Amplitude Represents half the distance between the maximum and minimum values
of y = a sin x or y = a cos x and is given by amplitude = | a |.
Phase shift The amount c/b by which the graph of y = a sin bx is shifted to obtain the
graph of y = a sin(bx − c).
I. Basic Sine and Cosine Curves (Pages 321−322) What you should learn
How to sketch the graphs
For 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π , the sine function has its maximum point at of basic sine and cosine
(π/2, 1) , its minimum point at (3π/2, − 1) , functions
Example 1: Sketch the basic sine curve on the interval [0, 2π].
