Graphs of Sine & Cosine — Easy Worksheet 1

Grade 12 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Answer each question. x is measured in degrees; give periods and phase shifts in degrees and the midline as y = k.

How to solve

For y = A sin(B(x - C)) + D (or cos): the amplitude is |A|, the period is 360°/B, the midline is y = D, the maximum is D + |A|, and the phase shift is C (right if C > 0, left if C < 0). On a graph, the amplitude is half the distance from a peak to a trough.

Example

For y = sin(2x): What is the period, in degrees?

Answer: 180°
