Learning Objective

I can graph sine and cosine functions and identify their key features.

  • 1

    The midline of a periodic function is a horizontal line where half of the function is above it and half is below it.

  • 2

    The amplitude of a periodic function is how far the function varies from the midline, either above or below.

  • 3

    The period of a periodic function is the change in x needed to complete one cycle, returning to the same point and slope.
