Transformations of Trigonometric
Functions
There are several ways we can transform the
graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x.

To investigate how certain changes affect the
graph of y = sin x, we are going to investigate
the effect of each of the following highlighted
components of the sine function:
y = a sin (bx h) + k

Graphing Trig. Functions using the
Graphing Calculators
First we need to know how to graph functions
using the graphing calculators.
Using the instructions on the website below,
graph y = sin x. Make sure the graph matches
what we did together in class on Wednesday.
