GRAPHS OF CIRCULAR
FUNCTIONS
Introduction:
We already know that the values of sin 𝑥 and
cos 𝑥 repeat after an interval of 2𝜋. This can be
shown as follows:
1. SINE Standard Circular Function: sin 𝑥 = 𝑦
Amplitude: 1 Period: 2𝜋
2. COSINE Standard Circular Function: cos 𝑥 = 𝑦
Amplitude: 1 Period: 2𝜋
Comparing graphs between sin 𝑥 and cos 𝑥
3. COSECANT Standard Circular Function: csc 𝑥 = 𝑦
Amplitude: 1 Period: 2𝜋
Comparing graphs between sin 𝑥 and csc 𝑥
4. SECANT Standard Circular Function: sec 𝑥 = 𝑦
Amplitude: 1 Period: 2𝜋
Comparing graphs between cos 𝑥 and sec 𝑥
5. TANGENT Standard Circular Function: tan 𝑥 = 𝑦
Amplitude: 1 Period: 2𝜋
6. COTANGENT Standard Circular Function: cot 𝑥 = 𝑦
Amplitude: 1 Period: 2𝜋
Comparing graphs between tan 𝑥 and cot 𝑥
STANDARD FORM OF
CIRCULAR FUNCTION
STANDARD FORM:
𝑦 = 𝐴 sin(𝐵(𝑥 + 𝐶)) + 𝐷
Where:
Amplitude is 𝐴
2𝜋
Period is
𝐵
Phase shift is 𝐶 (positive means moved to the left)
Vertical shift is 𝐷
Range: [𝐷 − 𝐴, 𝐷 + 𝐴]
Note: **** The form is applicable to all trig. functions.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
AMPLITUDE
The amplitude is the height from the center line to the peak
(or to the trough). Or we can measure the height from highest
to lowest points and divide that by 2.
𝑦 = 𝐴 sin(𝐵 𝑥 + 𝐶 ) + 𝐷
Amplitude is 𝐴
A=1
PERIOD
The period goes from one peak to the next (or from any point
to the next matching point). In other words , it is the
compression length of one full peak-to-peak.
Standard Form: 𝑦 = 𝐴 sin(𝐵 𝑥 + 𝐶 ) + 𝐷
2𝜋
Period is 𝐵
PHASE SHIFT
The phase shift is how far the function is shifted horizontally from the
usual position. The positive value of phase shift moves the graph to the
left. Standard Form: 𝑦 = 𝐴 sin(𝐵 𝑥 + 𝐶 ) + 𝐷
Phase shift is 𝐶 (positive means moved to the left)
𝑦 = sin 𝑥 C = 0 𝑦 = sin(𝑥 + 1) C = +1 (moved 1 unit to the left)
VERTICAL SHIFT
The vertical shift is how far the function is shifted vertically from the
usual position.
Standard Form: 𝑦 = 𝐴 sin(𝐵 𝑥 + 𝐶 ) + 𝐷 Vertical shift is 𝐷
𝑦 = sin 𝑥 D = 0 𝑦 = sin 𝑥 + 1 D = 1 (moved 1 unit upward)
RANGE
The range shows the value of the lowest y-value and the highest y-value of the
function.
Standard Form: 𝑦 = 𝐴 sin(𝐵 𝑥 + 𝐶 ) + 𝐷
Range: 𝐷 − 𝐴, 𝐷 + 𝐴
