What effect does changing the value of B have on the graph of a sine or cosine function?

Back

Changing the value of B affects the period of the function. A larger value of B results in a shorter period, while a smaller value of B results in a longer period.

What is the difference between sine and cosine functions?

Back

Sine functions start at zero and oscillate between -1 and 1, while cosine functions start at their maximum value (1) and also oscillate between -1 and 1.

How can you tell if a graph represents a sine or cosine function?

Back

You can tell by the starting point: if it starts at the midline and goes up, it's a sine function; if it starts at the maximum value, it's a cosine function.
