Introduction to Sine Graphs
Warm-up (2:30 m)• For the graph below, identify the max, min, y-
int, x-int(s), domain and range.
Fill in the table below. Then use the points to sketch the graph of y = sin t

Reflection Questions3. What is the max of y = sin t? What is the min?
4. What is the y-int? What are the x-intercepts?
5. What is the domain? What is the range?
Reflection Questions, cont.6. What do you think would happen if you
extended the graph beyond 2π?
7. How would extending the graph affect the domain and the x-intercepts?
Periodicity• Trigonometric graphs are
periodic because the pattern of the graph repeats itself
• How long it takes the graph to complete one full wave is called the period

Amplitude• Amplitude is a trigonometric graph’s greatest distance
from the middle line. (The amplitude is half the height.)• Amplitude is always positive.
– If f(t) = a sin(t), then amplitude = | a |
