Trigonometric Functions and Their Graphs (Overview)

auto_storiesAcademic Material

Overview of sin, cos, and tan as functions and what their graphs represent.

11.1 Trigonometric functions as functions

Instead of thinking of trigonometry only as triangles, we can treat:

TEXT
y = sin x,  y = cos x,  y = tan x

as functions.

11.2 Graph idea (starter)

A graph shows how the value changes as x changes.

We’ll focus on amplitude/period for sin and cos, and asymptotes for tan.
