Key Concepts

Phase Shift

The phase shift is the horizontal translation applied to the graph of the function. It is determined by setting the argument of the cosine function to zero, which shifts the starting point of the cycle along the x-axis, indicating a left or right movement.

Vertical Shift

The vertical shift represents the upward or downward translation applied to the graph. It is given by the constant term added or subtracted from the function and shifts the midline of the cosine curve accordingly.

Amplitude

The amplitude of a trigonometric function is the absolute value of the coefficient in front of the cosine or sine term. It measures the vertical stretch or compression, indicating how far the peaks and troughs lie from the midline of the graph.

Period

The period of a trigonometric function is calculated by dividing the standard period (2? for cosine and sine) by the absolute value of the coefficient of x inside the trigonometric function. It defines the length of one complete cycle of the waveform along the x-axis.
