This math unit progresses through a focused exploration of sinusoidal functions, starting by understanding how individual parameters like amplitude, period, and phase shift influence the function's graph. It begins with basic exercises that require students to match sinusoidal functions and their parameters to corresponding graphs. As the unit progresses, the complexity increases as students deal with multiple parameters simultaneously, analyzing how these combine to transform functions graphically and algebraically. Students then move to reverse tasks, where they identify sinusoidal functions from graphs and deduce parameters from functions. Ultimately, the unit covers up to four parameters, enhancing the learners' ability to handle more complex transformations and deepening their understanding of how variations in amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift affect the mathematical expressions and visual representations of sinusoidal functions. The unit is grounded in developing analytical skills necessary for function transformations, composition, and inversion, which is crucial for higher mathematics and applied sciences.Skills you will learn include:
