Graphs of Trigonometric Functions
• This chapter focuses on using graphs of sinθ, cosθ and tanθ
• We will be seeing how to work out values of these from the graphs
• We are also going to look at transformations of these graphs
Graphs of Trigonometric FunctionsYou need to be able to recognise the graphs of sinθ, cosθ and tanθ
You will have seen all these graphs on your GCSE
The key points to remember are the peaks/troughs of each, and the points of intersection
The Cos graph is the same as the Sin graph, but shifted along (it starts at 1 instead of 0)
The Tan graph has lines called asymptotes. These are points the graph approaches but never reaches (90º, 270º etc…)

These are the same graphs, but with radians instead…

Graphs of Trigonometric FunctionsYou need to be able to recognise the graphs of
sinθ, cosθ and tanθ
You need to be able to work out larger values of sin, cos
and tan as acute angles (0º - 90º)
Write sin 130º as sine of an acute angle
(sometimes asked as a ‘trigonometric ratio’)
Sin 130º = Sin 50º

Graphs of Trigonometric FunctionsYou need to be able to find the exact values of some Trigonometrical Ratios
Some values of Sin, Cos or Tan can be written using fractions, surds, or combinations of both…
We can use an Equilateral Triangle with sides of length 2 to show this.
Using Pythagoras, the missing side in the right angled triangle is √3 (Square root of 22-12)

We can also do a similar demonstration with a right-angled Isosceles triangle, with the equal sides being of length 1 unit.
Using Pythagoras’ Theorem, the hypotenuse will be of length √2 (Square root of 12 + 12)

Graphs of Trigonometric FunctionsYou need to be able to recognise transformations of graphs, and sketch them

This stretches the graph vertically by a factor ‘a’.

This shifts the graph vertically ‘a’ units. It is important to note that the ‘a’ is added on AFTER doing ‘sinθ’
“Adding an amount onto sinθ is a vertical shift”

Summary• We have been reminded of the
graphs for sine, cosine and tan
• We have looked at finding equivalent values on these graphs
• We have also looked at various graph transformations
