Graph of Circular Function

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, I will be able to:

a. determine the domain and range of
the different circular functions; and
b. graph the six circular functions, its (a)
amplitude, (b) period, and (c) phase
shift.

In this lesson, you will learn to graph functions of the form
y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx where a and b are positive constants
and x is in radian measure. The graphs of all sine and cosine
functions are related to the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x
which are shown below.

Properties of Sine and Cosine Functions
The graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x have similar properties:
1. The domain is the set of real numbers.

2.The range is the set of y values such that −1  y  1.
3. The maximum value is 1 and the minimum value is –1.
4. The graph is a smooth curve.
5. Each function cycles through all the values of the range
over an x-interval of 2π .
6. The cycle repeats itself indefinitely in both directions
of the x-axis.

Sketching the Graph of Sine and Cosine Functions
Before sketching a graph, you need to know:

❑ Amplitude – constant that give
vertical stretch or shrink. It is 𝒂
❑ Period (wavelength) – the distance
before the function repeats its value.
𝟐𝝅
The formula is 𝒃
.
❑ Interval – divide period by 4.
❑ Critical points – you need 5 points.
(max., min., intercepts)
11
Amplitudes and Periods
The graph of y = a sin bx has
❑ amplitude = | A|
❑ period = 2π
B
To get your critical points (max, min, and intercepts) just
take your period and divide by 4.
y = 3cos x

Partition the interval [0, 2] into four equal parts. Find the five
key points; graph one cycle; then repeat the cycle over the interval.

The amplitude of y = a sin x (or y = a cos x) is half the distance
between the maximum and minimum values of the function.
amplitude = |a|
If |a| > 1, the amplitude stretches the graph vertically.
If 0 < |a| < 1, the amplitude shrinks the graph vertically.
If a < 0, the graph is reflected in the x-axis.

Notice that since 4
all these graphs
have 𝒃 = 𝟏, so y = 2sin x π 3π
the period 2 π 2 2π x
doesn’t change. y = 12 sin x
y = – 4 sin x y = sin x
reflection of y = 4 sin x y = 4 sin x

The period of a function is the x interval needed for the function to
complete one cycle.
For b  0, the period of y = a sin bx is 2π .
b
For b  0, the period of y = a cos bx is also 2π .
b
If b > 1, the graph of they function is shrunk horizontally.
y = sin 2x period: 2π
period:π y = sin x x
−π π 2π
If 0 < b < 1, the graph oyf the function is stretched horizontally.

y = cos 1 x period: 2π
