1. Standard Trigonometry Graph:


New Key Characteristics
(a) Midline: The horizontal that line passes precisely between the maximum and minimum points of the graph
in the middle.
(b) Amplitude: It is the vertical distance between one of the extreme points and the midline.
(c) Period: A positive number a such that f (x + a) = f (x) for all x.
(d) Minimum period: The smallest period.
(e) Phase shift: Smallest horizontal distance by which the original graph needs to shift.
