Exploration Part I
1. Click in the dialogue box to the left. Graph y=sin ( ) . To get the theta simply
type y=sin(theta).
2. Hit enter, then graph y=cos ( ) . The two graphs should appear in different colors.
3. List any differences and similarities you notice between the graph of the sine
function and the graph of the cosine function.

Exploration Part 2
1. Click inside the parentheses of
y=cos ( )
and add -h
Exploration Part 4
1. Erase the a from your function. Add an b in front of
Predictions
For each of the following equations, predict what will happen to the original sine or cosine
graph when the transformations are applied before graphing. Then, graph the function
to determine if your prediction was correct.
y=2 sin ( )
Prediction:
y=cos ( 3 )
Prediction:
y=sin ( 90 )
Prediction:
y=3 sin ( )
Prediction:
y=sin ( + 45 )2
Prediction:
Conclusion
Do your best to identify how each of the variables a, b, h, and k change the graph of sine
or cosine.
y=a sin ( bh ) +k
