Green Bridge Learning Resource For Amplitude, Period And Trigonometric Graphs

Overview

Stretching and shifting the basic sine, cosine and tangent graphs produces a whole family of curves. Two numbers control most of it: the amplitude (how tall the wave is) and the period (how often it repeats).

In this lesson you will understand and use the amplitude and period of a trigonometric function, and draw and use the graphs of \(y = a \sin bx + c\), \(y = a \cos bx + c\) and \(y = a \tan bx + c\).
