    Gill-Reid GRAPHING TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Amplitude, Period, Phase Shift, Horizontal Shift of Sine and Cosine DEFINITION The trigonometric functions are functions of an angle. They relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles and modeling periodic phenomena, among many other application. Amplitude is half the distance between the minimum and maximum values of the range of a periodic function with a bounded range

    Trigonometric Functions have become essential to our world today. We see trigonometric functions in daily things like water levels, architecture, digital imaging, navigation, and medical techniques. There is one daily use that uses trigonometric functions as its foundation layer. In biorhythms, we see how important it is to use trigonometric functions to actually know exactly where we are going. Through my research I was able to see why we need trigonometric functions to coincide with biorhythms

    SIX BASIC TRIG FUNCTIONS Trigonometry, stemming from the greek words trigonon and metron , is the branch of mathematics in which sides and angles within in a triangle are examined in relation to one another. A right triangle has six total functions used in correlation to its angles, represented by the greek letter theta (θ). The primary operations are sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan) which serve also as the reciprocal of cosecant (csc), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot) in that order.

    In some cases, lateral force shapes result to good approximation of demand displacements. Nevertheless, there has not been found any constant loading for exact approximation of local mechanisms and plastic hinges. Earthquake codes have made it mandatory to use a minimum of two lateral load patterns in nonlinear static procedure. These two load patterns are chosen to cover resulting forces in actual dynamic response of the structure. There are two load patterns which are used mostly in usual studies:

    Everyone knows about Albert Einstein and his legacy, but what you might not know is his slowed development as a child. Einstein struggled to use language to convey his thoughts and feelings to others; however, he admitted that it gave him more opportunities to reflect on life’s elements. His ‘sense of wonder’ at these concepts made him pose questions which eventually led to several breakthroughs. This oddity of Einstein distinguished him from other people. What is something unusual about you that

    about; it is considered the founding idea of probability. Bernoulli worked for many years on his book, although his work was incomplete it made headway once it was published regarding the use of rational numbers in a sequence regarding trigonometry functions. Bernoulli contracted tuberculosis and passed away before he was able to complete the book, family members published his work several years after his death. Ars Conjectandi consisted mainly of material regarding probability theory and expected values

    In this project I was able to utilize my knowledge about functions in order to create an image that represent the cosine and sine graphs as well as other trigonometric graphs. Moreover, this project was really amusing because I had the opportunity to draw an image that represent the given graphs. The reason I choose to do this image was first based on the cartoonish character Bart of the famous animated comedy The Simpsons. After analyzing the character, I change many of its features such as the

    property to language in general, which can also function reflexively comment on the language or verbal system itself. In this reflexive form of language, called ‘metalanguage’, the metalinguistic function of language, which is also central to the metadiscourse model used in this study, is most evident. The metalinguistic function is one of the six functions of language proposed by Jakobson (1998), and the other five are expressive, directive,
