6.2 The Graphs of Sine, Cosine and Tangent Functions

The characteristics of sine graph, y = sin x:

has a maximum value of 1 when x = 90∘ and a minimum value of –1 when x = 270∘
intercepts x-axis at x = 0∘ , 180∘ , 360∘ (x-intercept)
intercepts -axis at y = 0 ( y -intercept)

The characteristics of cosine graph, y = cos x:

has a maximum value of 1 when x = 0∘ and x = 360∘ and a minimum value of –1 when x = 180∘
intercepts x-axis at (x-intercept)
intercepts y -axis at y = 1 (y -intercept)

The characteristics of tangent graph, y = tan x:

maximum value is ∞ and minimum value is −∞


intercepts x-axis at x = 0∘ , 180∘ , 360∘ (x-intercept)
intercepts y -axis at y = 0 ( y -intercept)
the values of tan 90∘ and tan 270∘ are undefined
