Sine & Cosine Graphs

By: Taylor Pulchinski


Daniel Overfelt
Whitley Lubeck
Equations
y = a sin (bx-h)+ k
y = a cos (bx-h)+k
a = Amplitude (height of the wave)
2( )/b = Period (time it take to complete one trip around)
h = Phase Shift (left or right movement)
k = Vertical Shift (up or down movement)
Examples
Finding the Period and Amplitude

y= 4 sin 3(x-2)
Amplitude=4
Period=2 /3

Amplitude y= a sin (bx-h)+k


y= 4 sin (bx-h)+k

Period y= a sin (bx-h) +k


P= 2 / b
P= 2 /3
Examples of Non-Shifted Graphs

y = sinx y = cos x
Example
Given the equation: Graph
y = -2 sin (x-π/4) +1

amplitude = 2
period = 2π (2π/b = 2π/1 = 2π)
phase shift = right π/4
vertical shift = up 1
Example
Given the Graph: write
equation
(graph goes by
incriments of one)

1)Find what we know 2) Plug into equation


amplitude: = 4 y = __cos__(x__)___
Period = π/2 (2π/4 = 1π/2) y = 4 cos 4 (x+π) -3
phase shift = left π
vertical shift = down 3
Example Story Problem
A Ferris Wheel with a diameter of 60 feet completes one revolution every 5
minutes. The closest a chair gets to the ground is 2 feet. Write a cosine
function for the height of the person above ground x minutes after boarding.

graph start at 0 and goes to 62 on the y


1) Find what we know axis; graph starts at 0 and goes to 5 on x
axis

Amplitude: 30
Vertical Shift: 32
Period: 2π/b = 5so 2π = 5bso 2π/5 = b
phase shift: none

2) plug into equation


y = ___ cos __(x___)____
y = 30cos(2π/5) x +32
Story Problem Continued
For the same problem, now write a sine function for the height of the person
above ground x minutes after boarding

1) Find what we know


amplitude: 30
Vertical Shift: 32
Period: 2π/b = 5 so 2π = 5b so 2π/5 = b
Phase Shift: 1.25 left (sine graph starts halfway between the starting
point and middle...so 5/2 = 2.5/2 = 1.5)

2) Plug into equation


y = __ sin____(x____)____
y = 30sin(2π/5)(x-1.25)+32
Graph tarts at 0 and goes to 62 on the y
axis; graph starts at 1.25 and goes to 6 on
the x axis
