\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "note: general formulas\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"y+=+a%2Asin%28b%2Ax%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"y+=+a%2A+cos%28b%2Ax%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The variable \"b\" in both of the following graph types affects the period (or wavelength) of the graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The \"period\" is the distance (or time) that it takes for the sine or cosine curve to begin repeating again. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Frequency is defined as \"frequency=1%2Fperiod\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The relationship between \"b\" and the period is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"period+=2pi%2Fb\". Note: As \"b\" gets larger, the period \"decreases\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The variable \"b\" gives the number of cycles between \"0\" and \"2pi\" . Higher \"b\" gives higher frequency (and lower period).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tip 1: The number \"b\" tells us the \"number\" of \"cycles\" in each \"2pi\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "example:
\n" ); document.write( "For \"y+=+10cos%28t%29%2C+there+is+%7B%7B%7Bone\" cycle between \"0\" and \"2pi\"(because \"b+=+1\").\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For \"y+=+10cos%283x%29\", there are \"3\" cycles between \"0\" and \"2pi\" (because \"b+=+3\").\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tip 2:
\n" ); document.write( "Remember, we are now operating using RADIANS.
\n" ); document.write( "Recall that:\"2pi=+6.283185\" and that \"2pi=+360\"°\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's look at the graph of \"y+=+5sin%28+t%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This time we have \"a=+5\" and \"b=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=+5\" is amplitude, so the curve goes up to 5 units and down to -5 units on the y-axis
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "since \"b=1\", the period is \"2pi%2F1=2pi\" (periodic in \"t\" with period \"2pi\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "
