1. I can answer questions about amplitude,
wavelength, period, vertical and horizontal shifts
on a graph or equation.
Standards
CO HS Math Standard 2.1.c.v. Graph exponential

Baseknowledge Misconceptionsor Vocab

1. Graphing sine and cosine waves
2. Know how amplitude and
vertical change the wave graph
3. Know how to identify changes
from the equation

Sine Wave
1. Sine wave starts from midline, Period - Cycle
Cosine wave starts at max Vertical Shift
(positive in front) or min (if Phase Shift
negative in front) Mathematical Range
2. Move dashed horizontal line up
or down to show the midline. Transformations
Need to move dashed vertical Equation of Sine and
line left or right to show where it Cosine
starts, then calculate period
from that line.
3. What to take notes on (Should
be mostly everything)
4. Dividing fractions you always
multiple without anything else
being an issue
1. When calculating B, its not just
the Period given, but have to
solve using 2/B = Period.

Opener

1. First Hour - Graphing a cosine graph from the work packet
2. Second Hour - Given transformation, find equation leading into new lesson

Class

First Hour

Warmup Question: Graph y = cos(2(x )) (10 min)
2
MiniLesson: Say out loud, These are notes you should be writing down (10 min)
 Sine starts at midline
Cosine starts at max (if positive), starts at min (if negative)
Midline Max = Amplitude. Amplitude is always positive
Max Min = Range of possible values
Vertical shift means I move the midline Create new dashed line for midline
Phase shift means I move the vertical starting line Create new dashed line for starting
Start Graph from that vertical starting line, then calculate one period from there

Ex: y = cos(2(x )) (Warm up question)

2
Ex: y = sin(x ) + 1
Practice: (10 min)
Moving dashed lines of midline (horizontal) and starting line (vertical)
y = 2cos(2x + ) 1
Review: (10 min)
Reminder: dividing fractions for every time: fraction/fraction means you flip and multiply
across

More practice graphing, setting up dashed lines

y = sin(2x) + 1

y = cos( 31 x + ) 2

BREAK (10 min)
Second Hour
Warmup Question Sine wave with following changes, find the equation:(10 min)
Amplitude =
Period = /2
Phase Shift = /2 to the left
Vertical Shift = down 3
Review/Lesson: (10 min)
Review Warmup question
How to go from period to finding B 2/B = Period. Solve for B, or guess what you think
can go in for B based on what youve done before
Shift up means + on end, Shift down means on end
Shift right means inside of sine, shift left means + inside of sine
Practice: (15 min)
Few more examples: sine wave
1. Reflection over xaxis, Period = 3, Shift down 1
2. Amplitude of 2, Period = /4, Shift left /2, Shift up 2.5
