Sketching Sinusoidal Functions

The document focuses on sketching transformed sinusoidal functions, specifically y=sin 𝜃 and y=cos 𝜃 over the interval 0° to 360°. It provides examples of how to analyze and graph these functions using parameters such as amplitude, phase shift, and period. Additionally, it discusses two methods for graphing transformations: mapping rules and the box method.

Sketching Sinusoidal Functions

Today our goal is to sketch the graphs of transformed sinusoidal functions.

Sketch the graphs of y=sin 𝜃 and y=cos 𝜃 for the interval 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°. Use the
maximum and minimum values and the axis intercepts. Scale the horizontal
and vertical axes.

𝜃 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃

0°

90°

180°

270°

360°

Have a discussion with the person beside you about the roles of the parameters in
the equations 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎 sin (𝑘(𝑥 − 𝑑) + 𝑐 or 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎 cos (𝑘(𝑥 − 𝑑) + 𝑐.

Example 1: Complete the following table.

Vertical
Amplitude Phase Shift Period
Displacement

𝑦 = 3 sin(𝑥 − 30°) + 1

5 45° Left 2 down 180°

𝑦 = 7 sin[0.5(𝑥 + 60°)] − 3

400 15° Right 100 up 60°


To graph a transformation of a sinusoidal function we have 2 options:

Option 1: Develop a mapping rule that maps the 5 key points of one cycle of the
parent function to 5 key points of one cycle of the transformed
function.

Option 2: Box Method

Example 8: Sometimes the function might not be in proper transformation form


You may need to re-write the function to properly identify what
transformations have occurred.

𝑐𝑜𝑠(2𝑥+60)
Re-write 𝑦 = −3 + 5
in proper transformation form.
