Study Notes
Frequency and Period
- A sine function with a period of 2π has a frequency factor ( b = 1 ).
- The period of a function refers to the horizontal length of one complete cycle.
- The frequency indicates the number of cycles occurring in one horizontal unit.
Sine Function Characteristics
- Different sine functions ( y = \sin(x - h) ) can have the same graph if the ( h ) values differ by multiples of ( 2π ).
- The period of ( y = \sin(3x) ) is ( \frac{2π}{3} ).
Transformations of Trigonometric Functions
- To transform the parent cosine function to ( y = 0.35\cos(8(x - \frac{π}{4})) ):
- Apply a vertical compression by a factor of 0.35.
- Apply a horizontal compression resulting in a period of ( \frac{π}{4} ).
- Implement a phase shift ( \frac{π}{4} ) units to the right.
Graphs and Phase Shifts
- The graph of ( y = \sin(x - \frac{3π}{2}) ) represents a shift of ( \frac{3π}{2} ) units to the right.
- The equation of its cosine counterpart can be expressed as ( d: y = \cos(x + π) ).
- An example function is given by ( y = -2\cos(2(x + π)) - 1 ).
Key Terms
- Period: Defines the horizontal length of one cycle in periodic functions.
- Phase Shift: Represents the horizontal translation of the function, altering its starting point along the x-axis.
