Sec. 8.3:  Demonstrate the relationship between sine and the unit circle and cosine and the unit circle.

(need dpgraph for all links)

Sine and the unit circle  

Cosine and the unit circle  

Sine, Cosine and the unit circle all in 1 graph : Use cursor keys to rotate graph

 

Sec. 8.3:  Demonstrate the relationship between sine and the unit circle and cosine and the unit circle.

(need Winplot for these links)

Sine, Cosine and the Unit Circle in 1  (Degrees) : A = Angle

Sine, Cosine and the Unit Circle in 1  (Radians) : A = Angle

 

 

Sec. 8.3:  Demonstrate the different part of the graphs of trig. functions.

(need dpgraph for all links)

Vertical shifts of y=cos(x) : Turn on scrollbar with variable D to move graph up or down.

Phase shifts of y=tan(x) : Turn on scrollbar with variable C to move graph left or right.

Amplitude change of y=sin(x) : Turn on scrollbar with variable A to change amplitude.

Period change with y=csc(x) : Turn on scrollbar with variable B to change period.

All 4 with y=cos(x) : Turn on scrollbar with variable A, B, C or D.

Sec. 9.5-9.6: Solving a non-linear inequality.

General Steps

Sec. 10.6:  Find the rectangular equation of the graph of x=y2 rotated /4 clock-wise.

(need dpgraph for all links)

Original graph :

x=y2 

r cos = ( r sin )2 

cot csc = r

 

To rotate about origin replace  

    with (-).

r = cot(-) csc(-)

 

Rotating graph :

Turn on scrollbar with variable A= to rotate.

r = cot(-) csc(-)

r2 sin2(-)

       =r cos(-)

r2 [sincos-cossin]2

       =r [coscos+sinsin]

[ycos-xsin]2 

       =xcos+ysin

y2cos2-2xysincos+x2sin2 

       = xcos+ysin  

y2cos2-xysin(2)+x2sin2-xcos-ysin

       =0

So for =-/4.

 (1/2)y2+xy+(1/2)x2-(√2/2)x+(√2/2)y =0

 

Final graph .
