LAMPIRAN C

Subject : Additional Mathematics Learning Area : 5. Trigonometric Functions

Form : 5 Science1 (5S1) Learning Outcomes : Draw and sketch graphs of sine, cosine and tangent.
Work Sheet :
To sketch the graph of sin y c a bx (where a, b and c are constants and b > 0), we first sketch the graph of sin y a bx . How do we do this? Let us explore this question
in the following activity.
Investigating the graphs of sin2 y x , 4sin2 y x and 3 4sin2 y x .
Draw the graphs of sin2 y x , 4sin2 y x and 3 4sin2 y x for the domain 0 360 x . (You can use a graphing calculator or any dynamic computer software to
draw these graphs.)
1. Complete the following table.
x 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330 360
sin2x
4sin2x
3 4sin2x

2. Plot all three graphs on the same axes, using a different colour for each graph.
3. Compare the graphs you have obtained:
(a) Do all the graphs have maximum and minimum values?
(b) What is the amplitude of each graph? What is the period of each graph?
(c) Compare the shape and position of the graphs.
(d) Can you describe how you would sketch the graph of sin y c a bx ?
(e) Try to sketch the graph of tangent and cosine using the same equations.
