Working with the graphs of trigonometric functions Trigonometric graphs Trigonometric graphs can be sketched when you know the amplitude, period, phase and maximum and minimum turning points.

Interestingly enough, the trigonometric functions that define those relationships are also closely tied to circles. Needless to say, this makes trig one of the hardest topics in math for students ...

The graphs of sine and cosine are included as well. The three principle trigonometric functions. (Image credit: Robert J. Coolman) ...
