August 31		 Section 7.4
Graphs of the Sine and Cosine (and Outside Changes to the Formula)		 Today:  QUIZ 2 over 7.1 and 7.2 and the graph of y = Asin(x) + k (Outside additive and multiplicative changes)

We discussed the domain, range, period, and amplitude of y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) and how these can be determined from the unit circle.

We looked at an outside change to the function, which results in the original function being transformed vertically (change to the output).

  1. y = Asin(x) and y = Acos(x) have amplitude |A|. 
    For A > 0, 
    the graph of y = Asin(x) vertically stretches or compresses the graph of  y = sin(x) by A units.
    the graph of y = –Asin(x) is a vertical reflection of the graph of y = Asin(x).
    Similarly for y = cos(x).  
     

  2. y = sin(x) + k and y = cos(x) + k have midline k.
    For k > 0, 
    the graph of y = sin(x) + k vertically shifts the graph of y = sin(x) up k units.
    the graph of y = sin(x) – k vertically shifts the graph of y = sin(x) down k units.
    Similarly for y = cos(x).  

The first multiplies the output by a quantity; the second adds/subtracts a quantity to the output.
