8 Trig Graphs - Parameters

The document provides information about trigonometric functions including: 1) The parameters of trig functions like sine, cosine, and tangent and what they represent. 2) How to graph trig functions by determining properties like amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical and horizontal shifts from the function equation. 3) An example of graphing the function f(x)=3sin2(x+30°)-1 between -90° and 360° by finding its critical points.
