THE PERIOD OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS


CO-TERMINAL ANGLES

►
Co-terminal angles are angles in standard position
CO- TERMINAL ANGLE

(angles with the initial side on the positive x-axis)


that have a common terminal side.
For example 30°, −330° and 390° are all
coterminal.

Properties of Sine and Cosine Functions
The graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x have similar properties:

1. The domain is the set of real numbers.


2. The range is the set of y values such that .
3. The maximum value is 1 and the minimum value is –1.
4. The graph is a smooth curve.
5. Each function cycles through all the values of the range
over an x-interval of .
6. The cycle repeats itself indefinitely in both directions of the
x-axis.
Example 1: Sketch the graph of y = sin (–x).

The graph of y = sin (–x) is the graph of y = sin x


reflected in the x-axis.

y y = sin (–x)
Use the identity
sin (–x) = – sin x x
y = sin x
Example 2: Sketch the graph of y = cos (–x).

The graph of y = cos (–x) is the graph of y = cos x


reflected in the y-axis.

y y = cos (–x)
y = cos x
Use the identity
x
cos (–x) = – cos x
Key Points in the Sine and Cosine Curves
Graph of the Sine Function
To sketch the graph of y = sin x first locate the key points.
These are the maximum points, the minimum points, and the intercepts.

x 0
sin x 0 1 0 -1 0

Then, connect the points on the graph with a smooth curve that
extends in both directions beyond the five points. A single cycle is
called a period.

Graph of the Tangent Function
To graph y = tan x, use the identity .

At values of x for which cos x = 0, the tangent function is undefined and its
graph has vertical asymptotes.
