13-4: The Sine Function Essential Question:
13-4: The Sine Function • Recall: the sine of Θ is the y-value where an angle intersects the unit circle. • Important things to note: • The curve starts at 0 • The curve begins going up, and returns to 0 halfway through the cycle (at 180˚) • The curve reaches a maximum of 1 (at 90˚) and a minimum of -1 (at 270˚) 90˚ 0˚ 180˚ 270˚ 360˚
13-4: The Sine Function • Finding the period of a Sine Curve • Use the graph of y = sin 4Θ below • How many cycles occur in the graph? • 4 • Find the period of y = sin 4Θ • Take the period of the parent function • Divide the interval by the numberof cycles • 2 4 = /2 • Alternately: • Divide the parent period by thenumber in front of the theta • Parent period for sin/cos is 2 2
13-4: The Sine Function • Find the period of each sine curve below. 2 2 2/3 2
13-4: The Sine Function • Finding the Amplitude • Same as in Chapter 13-1 • The amplitude is half the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the function. • Find the amplitude of each sine curve below 3 4
13-4: The Sine Function • Properties of Sine Functions • y = a sin bΘ • |a| is the amplitude • b is the number of cycles from the interval 0 to 2 • 2/b is the period of the function
13-4: The Sine Function • Assignment • Page 738 – 739 • Problems 1 – 15, 23 - 27 (odds) • For problems 23 – 27, don’t sketch the graph • Instead, tell me the amplitude and period of the function given.
