Preface
Formal Definition: In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions) are functions of an angle. They are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
Translation: Understanding the various functions that can be applied to and taken from (graphs) the unit circle, and includes recognizing and using the various algebraic identities to manipulate trigonometric functions and equations.
Graphing Functions
Sin
General formula:
General Notes:
- General formula achieved isolating the coefficient of x (n), i.e. the "lonely x rule".
- A period is equal to
- The domain, unless restricted, is
- The range is equal to , as the range of , see unit circle.
- The horizontal translation of is reflected in the x-intercepts.
- Easily sketched by applying graphic transformations, from VCE Mathematical Methods
