Trigonometric Functions

Outside of the context of a Cartesian Coordinate system (x-y plane), negative angles don't generally make sense. Angle Convention: Use Radians All angles are measured in radians in this course unless degree is stated. For example, angle /3 means /3 radians (which is 600) not /3 degree.

Solution In this function the x is divided by 2, which means stretching the graph horizontally by factor 2. Horizontally scaling tell us how the period is changed from standard period (2) by factor of 2. Thus the Period for this function is 4.

Trigonometric Functions

Solution X is shifted pi/4 to the left, while the total function is shifted 1 unit to down.

There is no horizontally scaling. Thus the period will stays standard period (2).
