Graphing Trigonometric Functions
We love to graph functions, and now that we know about the trigonometric functions, let's learn to graph those too! These are periodic functions, meaning they spit out the same values over and over and over, with a frequency that depends on the period of the function. This will be easy to understand if we have the unit circle memorized, so make sure you've watched that tutorial too, and then let's do this!

Thank you for this video, sir! My vision for beginning a math video series has "everything" you did here: limited review, error-free content focused to match the title, and scripted conversation. I love the graphing technology and the exit ticket. I watched dozens of videos and got very discouraged before arriving at this one. Awesome job!

Hi! Not getting why we divide by two when finding the phase shift of "y=4sin(2x -2pi/3)"
My best teacher ever your explanation is so wonderful loving your lecture
Getting me on track, prof dave
Excellent job for giving valuable information...
this channel saves my life all the time
Such a summary about Trigonometric Functions is really hlepful
Excellent video!
You are underrated!!! You should get over 10 million subs!!! Best of luck
Very helpful sir keep uploading
Thanku sir your graph each and every value which is important
but we can also plug in complex arguments in trig functions and get all numbers on the complex plane. Are there any ways to visualize complex angles like in sin(2+3i)=9.15-4.169i, how can we visualize angle (2+3i)? or is it just rigorous mathematics?

Thankyou so much
Are pi or 2pi the same in the comprehension case?
Professor please i do not understand? This seems very strange of a subject to me. Where can I further observe this?
y = sin (2)x is a horizontal compression it would be a horizontal stretch if you had a fraction instead of (2).
Thanks!
Please make videos on more difficult trigonometric identities
why did u do 2pi-3/2 i don't get that part at all
I feel like at 6:25 horizontal shift should have a - in front of it, just like we've seen in the videos before
I would like to watch your precalculus playlist after completing trigonometry playlist

You have to divide by 2 because the period was changed (x got multiplied by 2)
Why did you divide by two when finding the phase shift? Is it because the horizontal stretch of 2 (the coefficient of x) is causing things to compress? If so, what is the relation between the two? Also, I am referring to 7:58 in the video.

I think the purpose is just to adjust the "proportion" of the phase shift to match with the compression caused by the two to the "x"... then the relation between the two is just to make things inversely proportional or else the graph would have a big shift instead of the half of it related to the compression... so if it was 3(x) the phase shift would be (2pi/3)/3.

It's been a year you've probably figured it out, but for those having the same question in the future. Prof explained in the video that the period = 2π/b where b is the horizontal stretch. The first question is saying period is 4π then 4π=2π/b then you can figure what the horizontal stretch is
1:32 there's an error - instead of y=cos(theta) it should be x=cos(theta). If this wasn't confusing enough, further on in the video, x is used to represent an angle theta...
@ProfessorDaveExplains

Functions are traditionally represented with a y. That is examining the domain and range of y = cos(theta). And the angle can be represented with any variable, we normally use x and y when representing functions, so that works just fine.
Thx for your videos professor Dave! I can't get how x/2 and 2x appeared in the task :( Are you just dividing 2π/4π to gen 1x/2 is case with sin and 2π/π to get 2x in case with cos?

Mathematicians prefer radians on these functions, because it makes the Calculus a lot more simple and elegant. You can have the domain in units of degrees, it just means that there is a conversion factor inside the function, and that conversion factor accumulates through the chain rule when you use Calculus on these functions. For instance, the derivative of sine is cosine, when the input units are radians, which keeps it simple. But when the input units are degrees, the derivative of sin(x) is (pi/180)*cos(x). There is also nothing special about degrees, as we've arbitrarily defined the full circle to be 360 degrees. It has its advantage because it can be divided in to an integer by all numbers from 1 thru 10, with the exception of 7. But radians have the advantage when it comes to further mathematics, such as Calculus, which is why mathematicians prefer radians.

The general formula of a sine wave is : y= A sin (Bx+c) + D. Since B is 2 and one full revolution is 2pi you divide the two's. 2pi/2 = just gives pi. So since it is pi, you'll have to make the wave to just the period of pi. One full cycle is pi here.

7:36 why over (as opposed to times) that term?
@carultch
2 жыл бұрын
The term multiplied by the input is called the angular frequency (traditionally noted as omega). It has units of radians per second, or degrees per second, depending on the choice of unit for your trig function. Period (traditionally noted T) has the unit of seconds per cycle. To get from angular frequency in radians per second to period in seconds, you use dimensional analysis, to cancel the radians, convert to cycles, and to get seconds in the numerator. (omega radians/second) / (2*pi radians / cycle) = frequency f in units of cycles per second or Hertz. Take the 1/frequency to get the period in seconds per cycle.
🙏 Thankyou sir From India your student 😅Neva
Hello Dave. I dont really know if u still answer questions, but I need help to the first question of the comprehension. I am little confused, since cos(2x) is a period of pi.. How can sin(x/2) give a period of 4 pi? Mvh. Mathias.
@rocks7456

I'm not Dave, but maybe I could help make it clearer for you, so here :>> We can use the formula for the period of the cosine function 2π ÷ |b|. In the function y = sin(x/2), we can say that x/2 can be expressed as (1/2)x, or one-half times x. From there, we have b = 1/2 (since it is the number by which x is multiplied). Plugging it into the formula for our period, we have 2π ÷ |(1/2)|. Another way to look at it is 2π ÷ |0.5|. Hence, the period will be equal to 4. :>

Hey! You are confusing with period which is 4 pie and general x, they are inter-related but general way of saying sine(4x) not sin(4pie), so to get x first convert this 4 pie into x. which will be x/2 with the formula that he has mentioned. Hope this can also help you, as I was having this issue but try to sort my own and want other also to understand quickly ). Ciao

Thanks for sharing! I posted a video on explaining the sine graph. Let me know your thoughts.
I'm confused about something in this video. You can see in the 1:05 that the range of trigonometric function are the possible sine values but then when it goes in the 1:16 it says that the range of trigonometric function is -1≤y≤1. How did it change from being all possible sine values to -1≤y≤1? I'm literally confused here?🤔 Can someone explain?

Given the parent form of a trig function: y = sin(x) Now add an amplitude A, and angular frequency (B) to it: y = A*sin(B*x) Now suppose we want to shift it to the right, by a time shift of C. Locate x, and enclose it in parenthesis. Subtract C from x inside those parenthesis. We subtract from x to shift right, we add to x to shift it left. y = A*sin(B*(X - C)) If you distribute B among the terms in the parentheses, you get: y = A*sin(B*x - B*C) The term B*C becomes the phase shift, that is traditionally noted as phi. It has units of radians, assuming the sine is configured for radians as the input unit. We could also shift this vertically, a distance D, that is called the offset. y = A*sin(B*x - B*C) + D This is the general equation for a sine wave, that is shifted C units to the right, and D units vertically. It has an amplitude of A, and an angular frequency of B. Its period would be 2*pi/B, assuming the x units are radians.
