Transform Sine Cosine Graphs
 

Graphing Sine and Cosine With Different Coefficients (Amplitude and Period)
Examples:
State the amplitude and period of each of the following functions.
a) y = -4 cos (3x)
b) y = 1/2 sin x
c) y = √2 cos(1/2 x)




Trigonometric Functions and Graphing: Amplitude, Period, Vertical and Horizontal Shifts
Examples:
Graph y = 2 cos (x - π/2) + 1

Graphing Sine and Cosine with Phase (Horizontal) Shifts
Examples:
What is the phase shift for each of the following functions
a) y = cos(x - 4)
b) y = sin (2(x + 1))
