What is the sine function?

Back

The sine function, denoted as sin(x), is a trigonometric function that relates the angle x (in radians) to the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

What is the cosine function?

Back

The cosine function, denoted as cos(x), is a trigonometric function that relates the angle x (in radians) to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

How do you graph the sine function?

Back

To graph the sine function, plot points for key angles (0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π) and connect them in a smooth wave pattern.

How do you graph the cosine function?

Back

To graph the cosine function, plot points for key angles (0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π) starting at (0,1) and connect them in a smooth wave pattern.

What is the amplitude of a sine or cosine function?

Back

The amplitude is the maximum distance from the midline to the peak (or trough) of the wave, calculated as |A| in the function y = A sin(Bx) or y = A cos(Bx).

What does a phase shift in a sine or cosine function represent?

Back

A phase shift represents a horizontal shift of the graph, determined by the value of C in the function y = A sin(B(x - C)) or y = A cos(B(x - C)).
