All 16 cards in this deckShow
What is amplitude and range?Sine and Cosine Graphs
The maximum distance of a sinusoidal output from its midline.
What condition or caution matters when using amplitude and range?Sine and Cosine Graphs
Amplitude is half the maximum-minus-minimum difference.
What is period and frequency factor?Sine and Cosine Graphs
The smallest positive input shift that repeats a periodic function.
What condition or caution matters when using period and frequency factor?Sine and Cosine Graphs
Use the absolute value of B when calculating a positive period.
What is phase shift in factored form?Transformations and Periodic Models
The horizontal displacement of a periodic reference graph.
What condition or caution matters when using phase shift in factored form?Transformations and Periodic Models
Factor the argument before identifying the shift.
What is choosing a midline and model?Transformations and Periodic Models
A sinusoidal baseline obtained by averaging maximum and minimum.
What condition or caution matters when using choosing a midline and model?Transformations and Periodic Models
Matching a few points does not prove a model remains valid forever.
What is tangent period and asymptotes?Tangent and Reciprocal Graphs
A π-periodic ratio sin x/cos x with vertical asymptotes.
What condition or caution matters when using tangent period and asymptotes?Tangent and Reciprocal Graphs
Tangent has no amplitude because its range is unbounded.
What is secant and cosecant?Tangent and Reciprocal Graphs
The reciprocal functions 1/cos x and 1/sin x.
What condition or caution matters when using secant and cosecant?Tangent and Reciprocal Graphs
A reciprocal trig function is different from an inverse trig function.
What is principal arcsine and arccosine?Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Angle-returning inverse functions defined using restricted sine and cosine domains.
What condition or caution matters when using principal arcsine and arccosine?Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Principal inverse values do not enumerate every equation solution.
What is arctangent and compositions?Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The principal angle with a specified tangent value.
What condition or caution matters when using arctangent and compositions?Inverse Trigonometric Functions
arctan(tan θ) returns θ only within the principal tangent interval.
