Revise: Trigonometric Functions and Their Graphs

Graphs of the trigonometric functions and their transformations, inverse trigonometric functions, and differentiation of trigonometric functions.

The Graph of Sine

y=sinx: range [−1,1], period 2π, passes through origin.

sin(π/6)=sin(5π/6)=0.5.

The Graph of Cosine

y=cosx: same shape as sine, starts at max (1) at x=0.

cos(0)=1, cos(π)=−1.

The Graph of Tangent

Asymptotes at π/2+kπ; period π.

tan(π/4)=1.

Graphs of Cosecant, Secant, and Cotangent

csc=1/sin, sec=1/cos, cot=1/tan.

sec(0)=1; csc(0) undefined.

Amplitude, Period, and Phase Shift

y=A sin(B(x−C))+D: amplitude|A|, period 2π/B.

3sin(2(x−π/4)) → amp 3, period π.

Reflections and Vertical Shifts of Trigonometric Graphs

Negative sign reflects; +D shifts vertically.

−sin(x)+4 has max 5.

The Inverse Sine Function and Its Graph

arcsin(x): range [−π/2,π/2].

arcsin(0.5)=π/6.

The Inverse Cosine and Inverse Tangent Functions

arccos range [0,π]; arctan range (−π/2,π/2).

arccos(0.5)=60°; arctan(1)=45°.

Derivatives of Sine and Cosine

d/dx[sinx]=cosx; d/dx[cosx]=−sinx.

f=sinx+cosx → f'(0)=1.
