section 4.1 basic graphs. periodic function a function that repeats its values in regular intervals
TRANSCRIPT
periodic functiona function that repeats its values in regular intervals
is periodic if , .f x f x p f x x
x x p
f x f x p
amplitudemagnitude of change in the oscillating variable
If the greatest value of f(x) is M and the least value of f(x) is m, then the amplitude of the graph of f(x) is

For trig functions,
amplitude is distance
to max or min value
from the midline.
periodsmallest positive distance at which a function repeats
For any function f(x), the smallest positive number p for which
is called the period of f(x).

What is the period of the periodic function?

Look for repeatingy-values to determine
period…butthe period is
the length along the x-
axis.

Things to notice:•The period for tan and cot is π. For all other trig functions, it is 2π.• If the graph goes up or down to infinity, the amplitude is “undefined” or none.•Asymptotes, and domain restrictions, are the same for tan and sec (π/2 + πk).•Asymptotes, and domain restrictions, are the same for cot and csc (πk).•All trig asymptotes have + πk, even when the period is 2π.
