Cosine Function: Miss Connell Mar30, 2011

The document discusses the cosine function, including its graph, properties, and transformations. Key points include: - The cosine function has a periodic graph that repeats every 2π units, with an amplitude of 1 and extremes of 1 and -1. - Its properties are similar to the sine function, with a period of 2π and domain/range of all real numbers from -1 to 1. - Transformations of the cosine function involve changing its amplitude with the 'a' value, period with the 'b' value, and vertical shift with the 'k' value in the general form f(x) = a cos b(x - h) + k.

Example
 A general rule for finding the zero needs to be established:
 Step one: Solve for Zeros Algebraically
 Step two: Find the period of the function (the value of x it
takes to complete one cycle)
 Step three: Write it in the following form;

The zeros of f(x) = 2cos (x+3) – 1 are
