No CommentsHow to Graph the Sine Function
Description
A detailed tutorial on the solving of the graph of the sine function. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to solve the graph of the sine function for reference.
Overview
Graphing the sine function is not difficult, but there are a few steps you need to follow. The first is, you need to find all the different points on the graph. You do this by taking a unit circle and using radians and reference points to find all of your coordinates. Then plot your points on the graph, and “connect the dots”. The graph of the sine function has points at (0, 0), (pi/2, 1), (pi, 0), (3pi/2, -1), and (2, 0). The x-coordinates are all the main points around the circle while the y-cooridnates are your reference points. The graph of the sine function should resemble a “wave” that starts at the origin and travels in curves going both up and down.
