The sinusoid function is a mathematical function that describes a smooth


repetitive oscillation.
The Sine function and Cosine function are both sinusoidal functions.
The graph of sinusoidal functions form a wave, often referred to as sine wave.

y = sin x y = cos x

Sinusoidal Equations

y = sin x y = cos x

y = a sin (bx – c) + d y = a cos (bx – c) + d

y = a sin [b(x – c)] + d y = a cos [b(x – c)] + d

2π c
Amplitude = |a| Period = H. Phase Shift = V. Phase Shift = d

c > 0, right; c < 0, left d > 0, up; d < 0, down
