Transformations of Circular Functions
In this activity you will use a
point on the unit circle to
construct dilated images of
circular functions.
SKETCH AND INVESTIGATE
1. Open Circular Transforms.gsp. The sketch contains a parameter k that
currently equals 2. Use the Calculator to multiply k by the angle measure of DC.
2. Mark point A as the center of rotation using Transform Mark Center. Similarly, mark the calculation from step 1 as the angle of rotation.
3. Rotate point D by selecting it and choosing Transform Rotate. Label the
rotated point F, and construct segment AF.
Q1 Press the Animate Point C button. What is the relation of DAC to DAF ?
Q2 For every complete trip that point C makes around the circle, how many times
does point F travel around the circle?
Q3 Double-click parameter k, and change its value to 3. Answer Q1 and Q2 again
for this new value.
4. Press the Show Point E button. This point, which you built in the activity
Trigonometry Tracers, traces out sin(mDC ). Press the Animate Point C button
to watch point E in action.
Q4 You’re about to create the graph of sin(k mDC . Before you do, make a
prediction: Based on your answers to Q2 and Q3, what do you predict the
graph will look like?
5. Measure yF by selecting point F and choosing Measure Ordinates (y).
6. Plot the point mDC, yF
by selecting in order mDC and yF, and then choosing
Graph Plot as (x, y).
7. Label the plotted point G, and turn on tracing for it.
Q5 Animate C, and observe the trace of G. Is your prediction about the graph of
sin(k mDC correct?
8. Change the value of parameter k to draw new sine curves.
Q6 By taking new measurements, create the graphs of cos(k mDC and
tan(k mDC . Describe the appearance of each of these functions.

SKETCH AND INVESTIGATE
Q1 DAF is twice as large as DAC.
Q2 Point F travels twice around the circle for every revolution of point C.
Q3 When k 3, DAF is three times as large as DAC, and F travels three
times around the circle for every revolution of C.
Q4 Predictions will vary. The important thing is that students make a
prediction.
Q5 The graph is a sine graph compressed in the x direction. It has an
amplitude of 1 and a period of 2 /3 so that it shows 3 complete cycles
between 0 and 2 .
8. When you change k, the period becomes 2 /k, and the graph shows k
complete cycles between 0 and 2 .
Q6 The graphs of these functions resemble the graphs produced in the
Trigonometry Tracers activity, but (like the sine plot) compressed in the
x direction so that they show k cycles between 0 and 2 .
EXTENSION
You could challenge students to fi nd a way to modify the construction to
produce vertical dilation in the resulting graph. One method would be to
put a point on segment AF and plot the point’s y-coordinate as a function of
the angle. If segment AF is constructed as a ray, it’s possible to produce both
compression and stretching. Alternatively, you could dilate point F toward
or away from center point A.

Variation of Tangent and Secant
The sketch below will help you understand how the functions tangent and secant vary as their arguments vary.
Sketch
This sketch shows a unit circle in a uv-coordinate system and a ray from the origin, which intersects the circle at point P. You can drag point P. A line is drawn tangent to the circle at P, intersecting the u-axis at point A and the v-axis at point B. A vertical segment from P intersects the u-axis at point C, and a horizontal segment from P intersects the v-axis at point D.
Investigate
1. Use the properties of similar triangles to explain why the following segment lengths are equal to the six function values of 5 mAOP:
PA 5 tan
PB 5 cot
PC 5 sin
PD 5 cos
OA 5 sec
OB 5 csc
2. The angle between the ray and the v-axis is the complement of , that is, it is 90° 2 . Why? Show that in each case the cofunction of θ is equal to the function of the complement of .
3. What happens to the six function values as changes? Describe how sine and cosine vary as is made larger or smaller. Based on the figure, explain why tangent and secant become infinite as approaches 90+ and why cotangent and cosecant become infinite as approaches 0+.

Sketchpad Presentation Sketch
Trigonometry Tracers
This and other Sketchpad presentation sketches are available at www.keymath.com/keyonline to teachers who have purchased Precalculus with Trigonometry: Concepts and Applications.
Shown here is the third page of the presentation sketch. The first two pages show a y-value trigonometry tracer (which is a trace of the sine function as point C rotates) and an x-value trigonometry tracer (which is a trace of the cosine function as point C rotates). The third page, shown here, shows a tracer of y __ x, the tangent function.
You can find these teaching notes on the Notes page of the sketch:
Press the buttons in order from top to bottom. Drag point C around at each stage to make appropriate observations. At the end, you may wish to animate C and then stop the animation to drag C manually and make observations about the trigonometric function. Suggested questions:
• Whatarethemaximumandminimumvaluesofthisfunction?
• Howcanyouexplainthesemaximumandminimumvalues(andtheircorrespondingangle measurements) in terms of the unit circle?
• Forwhichvaluesof is this function positive? For which values is it negative? Explain why in terms of the unit circle.
• Whenisthisfunctionincreasing?Decreasing?Explainwhyintermsoftheunitcircle.
