Graph Transformations and Radio Waves

The video tutorial explores the reflection of the cosine graph, discussing how horizontal shifts can result in reflections. It explains the concept of intercepts and root frequency in trigonometric functions, emphasizing the periodicity of roots. The tutorial also delves into phase shifts, using radio frequencies as an analogy to explain FM and AM radio. Finally, it covers different types of reflections, distinguishing between vertical and horizontal reflections and their effects on graphs.

What happens to the cosine graph when it is reflected horizontally?

• It becomes a sine graph.

• It flips upside down.

• It shifts vertically.

• It remains unchanged.

How often do the roots of a cosine graph occur within a 360° period?

• Every 180°

• Every 90°

• Every 360°

• Every 270°

What is the term used to describe a horizontal shift in trigonometric functions?

• Phase
