This applet shows how the graphs of sin(θ) and cos(θ) follow directly from the definition of these functions. Move the slider to change the angle. Observe that after the point moves once around the ...
In a function such as sine or cosine, we could also have a translation of the form: \(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has ...
Graphs of Sine and Cosine 1.2 An applet illustrating how the graphs of sine and cosine are related to the unit circle. Transformations of Functions 1.3 An applet illustrating how transformations ...
Let's remind ourselves of what the sine graph looks like so that we can see how many solutions we should be expecting: Therefore, from the graph of the function, we can see that we should be ...
