 Properties of Sine and Cosine Functions and their graphs:

F(x)=Sin(x)
 Period: 2
 Odd : f(-x)=-f(x)
 Symmetric: origin
 Domain:   ,  
 Range:   1,1
 Zeros: Multiples of 

F(x)=Cos(x)
 Period: 2
 Even: f(-x)=f(x)
 Symmetric: y-axis
 Domain:   ,  
 Range:   1,1

 Zeros: Odd Multiples of 2

General Forms:
y  a sin b( x  c)  d
y  a cos b( x  c)  d

a =amplitude (height of the graph)

2
b
=period (how long does it take for one complete graph to form)

c= phase shift (right or left)

d=vertical shift (up or down)

- in front reflects vertically - inside reflects horizontally
