What differences is there between a sinx and cosx function?
Do they both use this equation?
y=Asin(BX+C)+D
Do they both use this equation?
y=Asin(BX+C)+D
The Sinx function is a trigonometric function that calculates the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. It is usually denoted as sin(x) or simply sinx.
The Cosx function is a trigonometric function that calculates the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. It is usually denoted as cos(x) or simply cosx.
To graph Sinx and Cosx functions, first plot the x-axis and the y-axis on a coordinate plane. Then, plot points on the graph by substituting different values for x in the Sinx and Cosx equations. Connect these points with a smooth curve to create the graph.
The period of Sinx and Cosx functions is 2π, which means that the graph of these functions repeats itself every 2π units on the x-axis. This is because the Sinx and Cosx functions are periodic functions.
The Sinx and Cosx functions are closely related as they are defined in terms of each other. The Cosx function is the derivative of the Sinx function, and the Sinx function is the integral of the Cosx function. Additionally, the graphs of Sinx and Cosx functions are sinusoidal curves that are shifted horizontally by π/2 radians from each other.
