What is k for sine and cosine graphs
The amplitude
for sine and cosine graph, scale factor for tan graph
What is the amplitude
The height from the centre of the periodic function to the maximum or minimum value
What is a vertical dilatation of y=f(x)
y= k x f(x) with scale factor k
If k>0…
graph is stretched vertically
If 0
graph is compressed vertically
If k = -1…
Function reflected in x-axis
What is a horizontal dilation of y=f(x)
y=f(ax) with scale factor 1/a
What is a period
the length of one cycle of periodic function on the x-axis
Period of sin and cos
2pi/a
Period of tan
pi/a
If a>0
function is compressed horizontally
If 0<a></a>
function is stretched horizontally
If a = -1
reflected in y-axis
