Cosine and sine of an angle θ are defined to be the x and y-coordinates of the point P on the unit circle with the property that the line from O to P makes and angle θ with the positve x-axis. cos(θ) ...
In a function such as sine or cosine, we could also have a translation of the form: \(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has been ...
Graphs of Sine and Cosine 1.2 An applet illustrating how the graphs of sine and cosine are related to the unit circle. Transformations of Functions 1.3 An applet illustrating how transformations ...
Many students think they've solved a trig equation when they get one answer (one size of angle \(x^\circ\)). However there's often more than one answer expected so be aware of this. Let's remind ...
