Parent Graphs of Trigonometric Functions
Instructions
- The first videos below explain the concepts in this section.
- This page includes exercises that you should attempt to solve yourself. You can check your answers and watch the videos explaining how to solve the exercises.
Concepts
- Graphing the parent functions of the trigonometric functions \(\sin(x),\) \(\cos(x),\) \(\tan(x),\) using the unit circle
- Graphing the reciprocal trig functions \(\sec(x),\) \(\csc(x),\) and \(\cot(x)\)
- Analyzing the domain, range, period, amplitude, asymptotes, minima, maxima, y-intercepts, and other important features of the graphs of the trigonometric parent functions
- Defining sinusoidal functions and their properties
