Trig graph Transformations
Trigonometry BAT recognise and sketch transformations to trig graphs KUS objectives Starter: Sketch graphs of the sine, cosine and tangent functions Put all the key values on the x axis Put any other key points on the graphs stationary points Write the period of each graph Give some equations of asymptotes for the tangent function
Transformations 1 y y = sin You need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Transformation type 1 y 3 = = sin sin y = 3sin y y a This stretches the graph vertically by a factor a . 0 360 90 180 270 y values 3 times as big = 3sin y -3 1sin 2 y = sin = y y values halved y 0.5 0 Multiplying sin by a number will affect the y value directly 360 90 180 270 -0.5
Transformations 2 y y = sin You need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Transformation type 1 y = = sin sin y y a y = -sin 1 This stretches the graph vertically by a factor a . 0 360 90 180 270 Reflection in the x axis -1 = sin y (all the y values will swap sign ) y y = sin(- ) 1 Reflection in the y axis = sin( ) y 0 360 90 180 270 (You get the same y values for the reversed x value. -90 gives the result 90 would have) -1
Transformations 3 y y = cos You need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Transformation type 1 y = = cos cos y y a y = -cos 1 This stretches the graph vertically by a factor a . 0 360 90 180 270 Reflection in the x axis -1 = cos y y y = cos(- ) 1 Reflection in the y axis = cos( ) y 0 360 90 180 270 -1
Transformations 4 y y = sin You need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Transformation type 2 y y = sin + 1 = = + sin sin y y a 1 This shifts the graph vertically a units. It is important to note that the a is added on AFTER doing sin 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Y values all increase by 1 = + sin 1 y y y = -2 + sin -1 Y values all decrease by 2 = + 2 sin y -2 Adding an amount onto sin is a vertical shift -3
Transformations 5 y y = sin You need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Transformation type 3 90 y y = sin( + 90) = = + sin sin( ) y y a 1 This shifts the graph horizontally -a units. NOTE: The a is added to before we work out the sine value 0 360 90 180 270 -1 y takes the same set of values, for values of that are 90 less than before y takes the same set of values, for values of that are 30 more than before = + sin( 90) y y 30 y = sin( 30) 1 = sin( 30) y 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Adding/Subtracting an amount from the bracket is a horizontal shift
Transformations 6 y y = sin You need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 Transformation type 4 y y = sin2 = = a sin sin( ) y y 1 This stretches the graph horizontally by a factor 1/a 0 90 180 270 360 Same set of y values, for half the values -1 = sin(2 ) y y y = sin( /3) Same set of y values, for triple the values = sin y 3 1 0 1080 270 540 810 Multiplying or dividing in the bracket is a horizontal stretch/squash -1
WB 15 (90, 1.5) y y = sin + k You need to be able to answer questions with unknowns in 1 0 360 90 180 270 -1 The graph shows the Function: f(x) = Sin + k a) Write down the value of k 0.5 (Graph 0.5 units higher) b) What is the smallest positive value of that gives a minimum point? 270 c) What is the value of Sin at this point? -0.5
WB 16 y y = cos( +k) You need to be able to answer questions with unknowns in 1 y 70 250 x 0 The graph shows the Function: -1 f(x) = Cos( + k) f(x) = Cos( + k) We know k On the y axis, = 0. a) Write down the value of k 20 (Graph moved 20 units left) f(x) = Cos( + 20) b) What is the value of at x? x = 250 c) What are the coordinates of the minimum? (160, -1) d) What is the value of Cos at y intercept? f(x) = Cos( + 20) f(x) = Cos(20) Work out the answer! f(x) = 0.94 (2dp)
