This video tutorial explains how to graph trigonometric functions without plotting each point individually. It covers the concepts of amplitude and period, demonstrating how to calculate these using formulas. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to graphing a sine function, highlighting the differences between sine and cosine functions. It also discusses how to identify these functions from their graphs and introduces the concept of shifting, which will be explored in future modules.

What is the main goal of the presentation?

• To solve trigonometric equations.

• To memorize trigonometric identities.

• To understand the analytic definition of trig functions.

• To learn how to graph trig functions point by point.

How does the graph of cosine differ from sine without shifting?

• Cosine starts at 0, sine starts at -1.

• Cosine starts at 0, sine starts at 1.

• Cosine starts at -1, sine starts at 0.

• Cosine starts at 1, sine starts at 0.

What happens to the graph of cosine when it is shifted by π/2?

• It becomes a sine graph.

• It becomes a tangent graph.

• It becomes a cotangent graph.

• It becomes a secant graph.
