Given the above graph:
|
|
|
|
- At the origin, $sin(x) = 0$ and $cos(x) = 1$
|

|
|
| $y = cos(x) - 1$ | Vertical shift down by 1 |
|
|
|
|
| $y = 2cos(x)$ | Vertical stretch by a factor of 2 |
|
|
|
|
| $y = -cos(x)$ | Flip over x axis |
|
|
|
|
| $y = cos(2x)$ | Horizontal shrink by a factor of 2 |

# Periodic Functions
|
|
|
|
A function is considered periodic if it repeats itself at even intervals, where each interval is a complete cycle, referred to as a *period*.

# Sinusoidal Functions
|
|
|
|
A function that has the same shape as a sine or cosine wave is known as a sinusoidal function.

|
|
|
|
| $A$ | The amplitude of a function can be found by taking $\|A\|$. The sign flips it over the x axis |
|
|
|
|
| $B$ | Horizontal, or phase |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$$ y = A * \sin(B(x-\frac{C}{B})) $$
