# 6.1 Graphs of the sine and cosine functions  (Page 8/13)

 Page 8 / 13

For the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{cos}\left(Bx+C\right)+D,$ what constants affect the range of the function and how do they affect the range?

The absolute value of the constant $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ (amplitude) increases the total range and the constant $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}D\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ (vertical shift) shifts the graph vertically.

How does the range of a translated sine function relate to the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=A\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\left(Bx+C\right)+D?$

How can the unit circle be used to construct the graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(t\right)=\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t?$

At the point where the terminal side of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ intersects the unit circle, you can determine that the $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ equals the y -coordinate of the point.
