What is period as it pertains to the graph of sine and cosine?

Period is how long it takes for the sine and cosine functions to restart repeating themselves. Both have a period of 2pi (360 degrees).


What is the similarities between a sine graph and a cosine graph?

Both sine and cosine graphs are periodic functions with a periodicity of (2\pi), meaning they repeat their values every (2\pi) radians. They both have an amplitude of 1, oscillating between -1 and 1. Additionally, the sine graph is a horizontal shift of the cosine graph; specifically, the cosine graph can be expressed as the sine graph shifted to the left by (\frac{\pi}{2}) radians. Both graphs exhibit similar shapes, featuring smooth, continuous waves.


How can you tell if a graph is a sine function or a cosine function?

sine graph will be formed at origine of graph and cosine graph is find on y-axise


Which of the functions below could have created this graph?

To accurately identify which function could have created the graph, I would need to see the specific graph in question. However, common functions that often produce recognizable graphs include linear functions (straight lines), quadratic functions (parabolas), exponential functions (curved growth), and trigonometric functions (sine, cosine waves). If you provide details about the graph's shape or key features, I can help narrow down the possible functions.


Which trigonometric functions are even?

Cosine and secant are even trig functions.


Why are sine and cosine functions used to describe periodic?

because sine & cosine functions are periodic.


How do you find the max and min of sine cosine functions?

The maximum of the sine and cosine functions is +1, and the minimum is -1.


How do you use cosine?

cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse. It can be used as other trig functions can.


What are the keypoints for the graph of cosine?

For a general cosine graph, they would be the maximum and minimum values, and the values of the independent variable at which these are attained.Note that the graph of y = cos(x)+2 is never equal to zero, so there may not be any roots.


Does cosine create a line on a graph?

yes cos(x) makes a wave that starts on 0,1 you will have to graph it


Why it is named sinusoidal wave or sine wave in ac?

It's called a sine wave because the waveform can be reproduced as a graph of the sine or cosine functions sin(x) or cos (x).


How do you gradually increase the period of a cosine graph?

Increase the amplitude and the frequency
