The graphs of and
, where
will have the following characteristics :
Amplitude : .
Period : .
Horizontal translation : .
Vertical translation : .
The trigonometric function is .
Rewrite the function as .
Compare the function with .
.
Since , the horizontal translation is
units left.
Draw a coordinate plane.
\Graph the functions in the same axis.
\Graph : \ \
