![A graph of sine and cosine](./assets/graphsincos.png) Given the above graph: - At the origin, $sin(x) = 0$ and $cos(x) = 1$ - A full wavelength takes $2\pi$ # Manipulation | Formula | Movement | | ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | | $y = cos(x) - 1$ | 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*.
