Sections 10.1 – 10.3

The graph of y = sin x
The graph of y = sin x is a cyclical curve that takes on
values between –1 and 1.
• We say that the range of the sine curve is
Each cycle (wave) corresponds to one revolution (360 or
2 radians) of the unit circle.
• We say that the period of the sine curve is 2.

Using Key Points to Graph the Sine Curve
Once you know the basic shape of the sine curve, you can use the key points to graph the sine curve by hand.
The five key points in each cycle (one period) of the graph are the intercepts, the maximum point, and the minimum point.
5
The graph of y = cos x
The graph of y = cos x is also a cyclical curve that
takes on values between –1 and 1.
The range of the cosine curve is
The period of the cosine curve is also 2.

Modeling using a sinusoidal function
P. 299 #56
On a Florida beach, the tides have water levels about 4 m between low and high tides. The period is about 12.5 h. Find a cosine function that describes these tides if high tide is at midnight of a given day.

Modeling using a sinusoidal functionA region that is 30° north of the equator averages a minimum
of 10 hours of daylight in December. Average hours of daylight are at a maximum of 14 hours in June.
Let x represent the month of the year with 1 for January, 2 for February, 3 for March, …through 12 for December.
If y represents the average number of hours of daylight in month x, use a sine function of the form y = a sin(bx + c) +d to model the daylight hours.
