Translating Sine and Cosine Functions
Translating Sine and Cosine Functions
F.TF.5 Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
Recall that for any function f, you can graph f(x - h) by translating the graph of f by h units horizontally. You can graph f(x) + k by translating the graph of f by k units vertically.
Each horizontal translation of certain periodic functions is a phase shift.
g(x): horizontal translation of f(x)
h(x): vertical translation of f(x). h(x) = f(x) + k
