Investigate the change in a trigonometric function by multiplying
the argument θ by 2.
1. Press Y= CL to access and clear Y1 of an old expression.
2. Make sure the calculator is in radian mode by pressing 2ndF SET UP ,
B (DRG) and 2 (Rad). Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the menu.
3. Now, enter sin x for Y1 by pressing sin X/θ/T/n ENTER and the sin (2x)
for Y2 by pressing CL sin
(
2 X/θ/T/n
)
ENTER .
4. Set your viewing window by pressing ZOOM E (TRIG) and 1 (sin x).
Note the change in the second graph versus the first graph. Engage the
trace to show the period has changed from 2π to π.
Investigate the change in a trigonometric function by subtracting
to the argument θ.
1. Press Y= ▼ CL and enter Y= sin (X - 3π/2) for Y2 by pressing
sin ( X/θ/T/n – 3 2ndF π ÷ 2 ) ENTER .
2. Press GRAPH to view the graphs. Observe and note the changes in sin x
when you change the phase shift.
