Study Notes

Frequency and Period

  • A sine function with a period of 2Ï€ 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 ( 2Ï€ ).
  • The period of ( y = \sin(3x) ) is ( \frac{2Ï€}{3} ).

Transformations of Trigonometric Functions

  • To transform the parent cosine function to ( y = 0.35\cos(8(x - \frac{Ï€}{4})) ):
    • Apply a vertical compression by a factor of 0.35.
    • Apply a horizontal compression resulting in a period of ( \frac{Ï€}{4} ).
    • Implement a phase shift ( \frac{Ï€}{4} ) units to the right.

Graphs and Phase Shifts

  • The graph of ( y = \sin(x - \frac{3Ï€}{2}) ) represents a shift of ( \frac{3Ï€}{2} ) units to the right.
  • The equation of its cosine counterpart can be expressed as ( d: y = \cos(x + Ï€) ).
  • An example function is given by ( y = -2\cos(2(x + Ï€)) - 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.
