The tangent is defined as the single point where a straight line meets a curved surface. The tangent can be determined with a collection of mathematical formulas but is most commonly determined by ...

Graphs of Sine and Cosine 1.2 An applet illustrating how the graphs of sine and cosine are related to the unit circle. Transformations of Functions 1.3 An applet illustrating how transformations ...

In a function such as sine or cosine, we could also have a translation of the form: \(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has been ...

Trigonometric graphs can be sketched when you know the amplitude, period, phase and maximum and minimum turning points. Learn about graphs of trigonometric functions in this National 5 Maths guide.
