The Graphs of Sinx, Cosx and Tanx
The Graphs of Sinx, Cosx and Tanx
Sine
• The graph of sinx crosses the x-axis three times in the interval
0° ≤ x ≤ 360°. At x = 0°, 180°, and 360°, sinx = 0.
• The graph of sinx is the same shape as the graph of cosx, but it is
shifted 270° to the left or 90° to the right.
Cosine
• The graph of cosx is the same shape as the graph of sinx, but it is
shifted 90° to the left or 270° to the right.
Tangent
• The graph of tanx crosses the x-axis three times in the interval
0° ≤ x ≤ 360°. At x = 0°, x = 180°, and x = 360°, tanx = 0.
