Key Concept 5
Steps for graphing Sin and Cos
• Identify a, b, c, d, period and increments and ps.
• Write your phase shift, increment and “c” with a common
denominator to make the math easier
• Create your table
– starting at the ps
– use your increments.
𝜋
– Ex. If increments are and your ps =0 then x or 𝜃 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠 are:
𝜋 2𝜋 3𝜋 4𝜋 4
0, , , ,

• Plug in the 𝜃 values and do the math
• Set up your graph using your 𝜃 values
• Graph
• Identify the midline

Use Frequency to Write a
Sinusoidal Function
MUSIC A bass tuba can hit a note with a frequency of 50 cycles per second
(50 hertz) and an amplitude of 0.75. Write an equation for a cosine function
that can be used to model the initial behavior of the sound wave associated
with the note.
