𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝐵(𝑥 – ℎ)) + 𝑘 • Amplitude: |𝑎| The height of the curve above and the depth below the midline • Midline: 𝑦 = 𝑘 • Period: 34 |5| 𝐵 = 2𝜋 |𝑃| • Horizontal Shift: ℎ • Quarter Split: 9:;<=> ? Average y value of the curve Length of the interval in which one complete curve appears One quarter of a full cycle (period) of a graph (helps in graphing)
𝑚𝑖𝑑𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 Sine • Starts at midline • If positive it goes up first • If negative it goes down first 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑚𝑝 𝑐𝑜𝑠( 2𝜋 𝑝 𝑥) + 𝑚𝑖𝑑𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 Cosine • If positive it starts high • If negative it starts low
