Graphs are useful for analyzing properties of various trigonometric functions and are valuable in many applications.The most common use of these functions is in analyzing waves ,sound and electric current and voltage.Although any trig function can be graphed,the emphasis here is on graphing trigonometric functions.
Graphing a Sine function
The graph of y= sinx(where x equals the angle) can be sketched by simply constructing a table ,like the one shown below,selecting values for the angle,x and solve for y,then plotting the points on a graph .
Note:- The x-axis is set in increments of standard angles in degrees,although radians can also be used .
The y- axis is set in decimal increments ,equal to function values of the corresponding angles.
