Highlights of the Cosine Function
  • The cosine function, matches
    the measure of an angle in standard position with
    the x-coordinate of a point on the unit circle.
  • Within one cycle of the function the graph will
    zero by touching the x axis two times (
    ) reach a minimum value of -1 at and
    a maximum value of 1 at 0 and .

Differences and Similarities between the sine and
cosine functions

Graphing the Cosine Function
Sketch the graph of
  • Steps
  • Determine the amplitude. In this case a 2.
  • Determine the period using the formula .
    This will be the outer boundary of your graph.
  • Period
  • 3. Use five points equally spaced through one
    cycle to sketch a cosine curve. The fivepoint
    pattern is
  • maxzerominzero-max.
  • Plot the points.

Graphing the Cosine Function
Sketch the graph of
Steps 4. Make a smooth curve through the points
to complete your graph.

The Cosine Function
Use the graph shown below.
a. Find the domain, period range, and amplitude
of this function.
The domain of the function is all real numbers.

b. Examine the cycle of the cosine function in
the interval from 0 to 2 . Where in
the cycle does the maximum value occur? Where
does the minimum occur? Where do the zeros occur?
11
The Cosine Function
Sketch the graph of y 2 cos
in the interval from 0 to 4.
12
The Cosine Function
Suppose 8-in. waves occur every 6 s. Write an
equation that models the height of a water
molecule as it moves from crest to crest.
13
The Cosine Function
2x 3
In the function y 2 cos , for which
values of x is the function equal to 1?
The graph show two solutions in the interval.
They are x 3.14 and 6.28.
