MCR3U Transforming The Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions

The document discusses how changing the parameters m and b affects the graph of the linear equation y=mx+b by altering its slope and y-intercept. It then explains how changing the parameters a, k, d, and c impacts the graphs of sine and cosine functions in the forms y=asin[k(x-d)]+c and y=acos[k(x-d)]+c: a stretches or compresses the graph vertically, k stretches or compresses it horizontally, d shifts it left or right along the x-axis, and c shifts it up or down along the y-axis.

MCR3U Transforming The Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions

Review:

(1) In GSP,  using parameters m and b to graph equations of the form y = mx + b.  Finally, we animated
m and/or b to see the effects of changing the values of m and b on the graph of the line y = mx + b

if a >1 or a < ­ 1 then the parabola stretches if h > 0 then the parabola/vertex shifts to the right

if ­1 < a < 1 then the parabola compresses
if h < 0 then the parabola/vertex shifts to the left 
if a is negative then the parabola opens down h units.
