Parameter #1: Leading Coefficient
Drag the slider for a to investigate how the graph of cosine changes as the leading coefficient changes. Make a note of what happens below.
Parameter #1
Question 1
How does the graph change as the parameter "a" changes?
Parameter #2: Addition of a constant
Drag the slider for d and observe how the graph of sine changes. Make a note of what happens below.
Parameter #2
Question 2
How does the graph of sine change as "d" is changed?
Parameter #3: Coefficient on x
Drag the slider for b and observe how the graph changes. Make a note of what happens below.
Parameter #3
Question 3
How does the graph of sine change as "b" changes?
Parameter #4: Adding/Subtracting inside sine/cosine
Drag the slider for "c" and observe what changes in the graph. Make a note of what happens below.
Parameter 4
Question 4
