When this occurs we call the smallest such horizontal shift with p 0 the period of the function. The course is designed similarly to the cpm core connections courses. In mathematics, a function that repeats its values in regular intervals is known as a periodic function. Graphs and properties of trigonometric functions mini book. The equation for this graph will be in the form where a is the amplitude, f is the frequency, h is the horizontal shift, and k is the vertical shift to write this equation, it is helpful to sketch a graph.
From sketching the maximum and the minimum, we can see that the graph is centered at and has an amplitude of 2 the distance between the maximum and the minimum is half the. Every book on your english syllabus summed up in a quote from the office. Any function that is not periodic is called aperiodic.

In mathematics, a periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods. In the previous chapter, the trigonometric functions were introduced as ratios of sides of. Find the period of a sine or cosine function precalculus. The graph of is symmetric about the origin, because it is an odd function. Graphs of the other trigonometric functions for the exercises 14, graph the functions for two periods and determine the amplitude or. The graphs of ysinx and y1 2 intersect at many points, so there must be more than one solution to the equation. The result is a comprehensive book that covers more ground than an instructor could likely cover in a typical one or. Periodic functions are used throughout science to describe oscillations, waves, and other phenomena that exhibit periodicity.
Periodic functions a periodic function is a function for which a specific horizontal shift, p, results in the original function. To evaluate inverse trigonometric functions that do not involve the special angles discussed previously, we will need to use a calculator or other type of technology.
