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*.
