General Form of Sine & Cosine The general form of sine and cosine
are:y = d + a sin (bx – c)
y = d + a cos (bx – c) Where |a| = amplitude 2π/b = period c = horizontal shift d = vertical shift
11
Example 1 On the same set of coordinate
axes, sketch the graph of each function by hand on the interval [–π, 4π]. Compare these with the graph of the parent function.a. y = ½ cos x
b. y = –3 cos x

Example 2 On the same set of coordinate
axes, sketch the graph of each function by hand on the interval [–π, 4π]. Compare these with the graph of the parent function.a. y = sin (x/2)
b. y = sin 2x

Graphs of Sine and Cosine The graphs of y = d + a sin (bx – c) and
y = d + a cos (bx – c) have the following characteristics:
Amplitude = |a|Period = 2π/b
The left and right endpoints of a one-cycle interval can be determined by solving the equations bx – c = 0 and bx – c = 2π.

Mathematical Modeling Sine and cosine functions can be
used to model many real-life situations including: Electric currents Musical tones Radio waves Tides Weather patterns

Example 8Throughout the day, the depth of the water at the end of a dock in Bangor, WA varies with the tides. The table shows the depths (in feet) at various times during the morning.
a. Use a trig function to model this data.b. A boat needs at least 10 feet of water to
moor at the dock. During what times in the evening can it safely dock?
