Analysis of the Graphs

Domain - All real numbers


Range - [1, -1]
Even or Odd? - Odd
Period = 2π

Domain - All real numbers


Range - [1, -1]
Even or Odd? - Odd
Period = 2π

Amplitude and Period

f(x) = asin(bx + c) + d

f(x) = acos(bx + c) + d

|A| = amplitude Amplitude = 1


= period
Period = 2π
Period = frequency
Frequency =
4 Midline = 0
D = midline

Vertical and Horizontal Shifts

Changing the value of “c”


shifts the graph horizontally

Changing the value of “d”


shifts the graph vertically

Defining Tangent and Finding the Points

Tangent = , x f(x) = tan(x)

π/6 √3/3
So tangent =
π/4 1

f(x) = tan(x) π/3 √3

π/2 undefined

Review

Since it has no maximum or


minimum, tangent has no
amplitude. But A does
Sine Cosine Tangent change the graph

f(x) = Asin(Bx + C) + D f(x) = Acos(Bx + C) + D f(x) = Atan(Bx + C) + D
