Amplitude

The amplitude of the functions y = Asin and y = Acos is the absolute value of A.

The amplitude of a graph can be described as the absolute value of one-half the difference of the maximum and

minimum function values.

14.2 Translations of Trig Graphs

The graph of y = A sin (Bx – C) is obtained by horizontally shifting the graph of y = A sin Bx so that the starting point of the cycle is shifted from x = 0 to x = C/B. The number C/B is called the phase shift.

amplitude = | A|

period = 2 /B.

Phase Shift

A phase shift is simply a horizontal change.

The phase shift of the function y = A cosk( + C) is C. If C > 0, the shift is to the left. If C < 0, the shift is to the right.

Vertical Shift

A vertical shift is simply a vertical change.

The vertical shift of the function y = Asink + C is C. If C > 0, the shift is up. If C < 0, the shift is down.

Finding a Trigonometric Model

Throughout the day, the depth of water at the end of a dock in Bar Harbor, Maine, varies with the tides. The table below shows the depths (in feet) at various times during the morning. (a) Use a trigonometric function to model this data. (b) Find the depths at 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. (c) A boat needs at least 10 feet of water to moor at the dock.

Begin by graphing the data. Let the time be the independent variable and the depth be the

dependent variable.

Finding a Trigonometric Model(a) Use a trigonometric function to model this data. (b) Find the depths at 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. (c) A boat needs at least 10 feet of water to moor at the dock. During what times in the afternoon

can it safely dock?

The model fits either a sine or

cosine model. Select cosine.

The period can be found by doubling

the difference of the low time and high

time.
