4.2 Translations of the Graphs of the Sine and Cosine Function Combinations of Translations Further Guidelines for Sketching Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions To graph y = c + a sin[b(x – d)] or y = c + a cos [b(x - d)], with b>0, follow these steps. Method 1 2т Step 1 Find an interval whose length is one period " by solving the three- part inequality 0 < b(x – d) < 27. Step 2 Divide the interval into four equal parts to obtain five key x-values. Step 3 Evaluate the function for each of the five x-values resulting from Step 2. The points will be maximum points, minimum points, and points that intersect the line y = c (“middle" points of the wave). Step 4 Plot the points found in Step 3, and join them with a sinusoidal curve having amplitude |a|. Step 5 Draw the graph over additional periods, as needed. Method 2 Step 1 Graph y = a sin bx or y = a cos bx. The amplitude of the function is 2т lal, and the period is . Step 2 Use translations to graph the desired function. The vertical transla- tion is c units up if c > 0 and c units down if c<0. The horizontal translation (phase shift) is d units to the right if d> 0 and d units to the left if d<0. EXAMPLE 5 Graphing y = c + a sin[b(x -d] Graph y = -1 + 2 sin(4x + ) over two periods. SOLUTION We use Method 1. We must first write the expression on the right side of the equation in the form c + a sin [b(x – d)]. Rewrite by y = -1+ 2 sin(4x + 7), or y = -1+ 2 sin 4 x + factoring out 4.
