The graph of y = sin x
The graph of y = sin x is a cyclical curve that takes on values between –1 and 1.
• We say that the range of the sine curve is
Each cycle (wave) corresponds to one revolution (360 or 2 radians) of the unit circle.
• We say that the period of the sine curve is 2.

Using Key Points to Graph the Sine CurveOnce you know the basic shape of the sine curve, you can use the key points to graph the sine curve by hand.
The five key points in each cycle (one period) of the graph are the intercepts, the maximum point, and the minimum point.
5
The graph of y = cos x
The graph of y = cos x is also a cyclical curve that takes on values between –1 and 1.
The range of the cosine curve is
The period of the cosine curve is also 2.

Transformations of y = sin x and y = cos x
• Reflections over x-axis
• Vertical Stretches or Shrinks
• Horizontal Stretches or Shrinks/Compression
• Vertical Shifts
• Phase shifts (Horizontal shifts/displacement)

Modeling Using a Sinusoidal Function
On a Florida beach, the tides have water levels about 4 m between low and high tides. The period is about 12.5 h. Find a cosine function that describes these tides if high tide is at midnight of a given day.
