Formulas

General sinusoidal form (cosine works the same)
Vertical stretch
Horizontal center line
How wide one full cycle is
Factor out B first: A·sin(B(x − h))
Radians → degrees
Odd / Even symmetry
Cofunction identity

Quick tips

  • If the graph starts at the MIDLINE going up → use sin (no shift).
  • If it starts at the MAX → use cos (no shift). At the MIN → use −cos.
  • From MIN to MAX is half a period (multiply by 2 to get the full period).
  • Always factor B out of the inside before reading h: B·x − C → B(x − C/B).
