Pie Radians
Period Function
A function whose graph repeats in regular intervals or cycles
Midline
The horizontal line halfway between the maximum and the minimum values of a periodic function.
Amplitude
The distance from the midline to either maximum or minimum value of a periodic function; the amplitude is always expressed as a positive number.
Period
The length of the interval of the domain to complete one cycle.
Y-intercept of sinx
0
Y-intercept of cosx
1
Sinusoidal Function
Any periodic function whose graph has the same shape as that of y=sinx
