GDC Set up
Ensure that your calculator is in degree mode and that you know how to adjust the v-window of your graphs before doing these trigonometry graphs.
Amplitude of sine graphs
In the graph menu on your GDC set a window using:
0 x 360 and - 3 y 3, and draw y sin x.
On the same graph draw y 2sin x. What happens?
On the same graph draw y asin x. Choose your a.
You may need to adjust your y window.
In the graph menu on your GDC set a window using:
0 x 360 and - 3 y 3, and draw y cos x.
On the same graph draw y 2sin x. What happens?
On the same graph draw y asin x. Choose your a.
You may need to adjust your y window.
Amplitude of cosine graphs
Amplitude of a trig graph
A graph of y=sin(x) is shown below.
This graph has an amplitude of 1.
The graph of y=2sin(x) has an amplitude of 2.
The graph of y=3sin(x) has an amplitude of 3.
This pattern will also work with cosine graphs.
Amplitude of trig. graphsYou will have discovered from previous slides that multiplying a trig graph by a number stretches the graph.The multiplying factor of the graph is known as the graph’s amplitude.

Period of sine graphs
In the graph menu on your GDC set a window using:
0 x 360 and -2 y 2, and draw y sin x.
On the same graph draw y sin2x. What happens?
On the same graph draw y sinbx. Choose your b.
You may need to adjust your x window.
Period of cosine graphs
In the graph menu on your GDC set a window using:
0 x 360 and -2 y 2, and draw y cos x.
On the same graph draw y cos2x. What happens?
On the same graph draw y cos bx. Choose your b.
You may need to adjust your x window.
Period of a trig graphA graph of y=cos(x) is shown below.
This graph has an period of 360 - the length it takes to make a complete wave.
The graph of y=cos(2x) has an period of 180.The graph of y=cos(3x) has an period of 120.
Period of trig. graphs
You will have discovered from previous slides that multiplying the x by a constant increases the number of ‘waves’ the graph does. This is called the period - the time it takes to complete one cycle.
y sin x takes 3600 to complete one cycle. 3600 is the period.
y sin2x takes 1800 to complete one cycle. 1800 is the period.
In general: y sinbx, the period is

Vertical shift of trig. graphs
In the graph menu on your GDC set a window using:
0 x 360 and - 5 y 5, and draw y sin x.
On the same graph draw y sin x 3 What happens?
On the same graph draw y sin x c Choose your c.
You may need to adjust your y window.
Vertical shift of trig. graphs
In the graph menu on your GDC set a window using:
0 x 360 and - 5 y 5, and draw y cos x.
On the same graph draw y cos x 3 What happens?
On the same graph draw y cos x c Choose your c.
You may need to adjust your y window.
Shift of a trig graph
A graph of y=cos(x) is shown below.
Look at where this graph starts (0,1).
The graph of y=cos(x)+2 has a shift of 2.
The graph of y=cos(x)-3 has a shift of -3
This pattern will also work with sine graphs.
Vertical shift of trig. graphs
You will have discovered from previous slides that adding a constant onto the trig graph will move the graph up, or down if the constant is negative.Write down the y-coordinate where the graph crosses the y-axis for each of these functions.

Putting it all together
y asinbx c
This is the general expression for a trig. graph which has been transformed. If you are trying to find the values of the letters then find a first, b second and c last. This format also works for cosine and tangent graphs.
