 In today’s lesson you are going to learn how to

Lesson 2
draw trigonometric graphs.

You are only drawing three graphs so take your

time and draw them with care and effort.

You must use a pencil to draw them.

Trigonometric Graphs
Make sure that they are big enough! Each graph
should take up roughly half a page in your book!
Trigonometric graphs from the unit circle
Sine Graph
Key Points:
❏ Maximum value is 1
❏ Minimum value is -1
❏ It should be a smooth curve
❏ It repeats itself every 360°
Sine Graph
Follow the video to draw a sine graph
Pause the video when you need to!

Key Points:
❏ Maximum value is 1
❏ Minimum value is -1
❏ It should be a smooth curve
❏ It repeats itself every 360°
Cosine Graph
Key Points:
❏ Maximum value is 1
❏ Minimum value is -1
❏ It should be a smooth
curve
❏ It repeats itself every
360°
❏ Cosine has the same
shape as sine but it is
shifted along by 90°

Key Points:
❏ Maximum value is 1
❏ Minimum value is -1
❏ It should be a smooth curve
❏ It repeats itself every 360°
❏ Cosine has the same shape as sine but it
is shifted along by 90°
Tan Graph
Key Points:
❏ There is no maximum or
minimum
❏ It repeats itself every 180°
❏ There are asymptotes at
-90°, 90°, 270°…
❏ Asymptotes are lines which
graphs go reallyyyyy close to
but never actually touch.

Area of Any Triangle
We use this formula to find the area of a triangle
if we do not know the perpendicular height.
