Comparing Sin and CoSine
Comparing Sin and Cosine
First, display only the sin graph by clicking either the purple button off. Now using the sliders, or manually changing the numbers, see how each variable affects the graph.
Which variable moves the graph left and right?
Which variable stretches / compresses the graph horizontally?
Which variable moves the graph up and down?
Which variable stretches / compresses the graph vertically?
Now click the purple button again, making the cosine graph visible. We haven't used variable c yet, so explore what changes with the variable c slider.
What happens if we put variable sliders c and d on animate? (clicking the small play triangle on the right) Do you notice anything about the 2 graphs?
Finally, set c=0 and d (you can set d by typing pi/2)
What happened to the 2 graphs?
