ACTIVITY 4

OBJECTIVE: To plot the graphs of sinx,sin2x,2sinx and sin(x/2), using samecoordinate axes.
MATERIAL REQUIRED: Thick Paper, Graph Paper scissors, Pencil, Compass adhesive,etc.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a Thick Paper of A4 size.
2. On the Thick Paper, paste a thick graph paper of A4 size.
3. Draw two mutually perpendicular lines on the squared paper, and take them as coordinate axes.
4. Graduate the two axes as shown in the Fig. 10.
5. Prepare the table of ordered pairs for sin x, sin 2x, 2sinx and sinx/2 for different values of x
shown in the table below:

DEMONSTRATION
1. Plot the ordered pair (x, sin x), (x, sin 2x), (x, sin x/2) and (x, 2sin x) on the same axes of
coordinates, and join the plotted ordered pairs by free hand curves in different colours as shown in
the Fig.10.

OBSERVATION
1. Graphs of sin x and 2sin x are of same shape but the maximum height of the graph of sin x is 1
the maximum height of the graph of 2sinx is 2.
2. The maximum height of the graph of sin 2x is 1. It is at x =π/4 .
3. The maximum height of the graph of 2 sin x is 2 . It is at x =π/2 .
4. The maximum height of the graph of sin x/2 is 1. It is at x/2 =π/2 .
5. At x = 0, sin x = 0, at x = 0, sin 2x = 0 and at x = 0, sin x/2 = 0.
6. In the interval [0, π], graphs of sin x, 2 sin x and sin x/2 are ABOVE x - axes
and some portion of the graph of sin 2x lies ABOVE x-axes.
7. Graphs of sin x and sin 2x intersect at x = π/3 in the interval (0, π)
8. Graphs of sin x and sin x/2 intersect at x = 2π/3 in the interval (0, π).
APPLICATION
This activity may be used in comparing graphs of a trigonometric function ofmultiples and
submultiples of angles.
