4. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley 6.4-4 Horizontal Translations The graph of the function defined by y = f(x – d) is translated horizontally compared to the graph of y = f(x). The translation is d units to the right if d > 0 and |d| units to the left if d < 0.

5. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley 6.4-5 Horizontal Translations In the function y = f(x – d), the expression x – d is called the argument. A horizontal translation is called a phase shift.

22. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley1.1-22 6.4-22 Guidelines for Sketching Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions Step 2Divide the interval into four equal parts. Method 1 Step 1Find an interval whose length is one period by solving the three- part inequality Step 3Evaluate the function for each of the five x-values resulting from Step 2. The points will be maximum points, minimum points, and points that intersect the line y = c.

24. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley1.1-24 6.4-24 Guidelines for Sketching Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions Method 2 First graph y = a sin bx or y = a cos bx. The amplitude of the function is |a|, and the period is Use translations to graph the desired function. The vertical translation is c units up if c > 0 and |c| units down if c < 0. The horizontal translation (phase shift) is d units to the right if d > 0 and |d| units to the left if d < 0.

29. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley1.1-29 6.4-29 Example 6 MODELING TEMPERATURE WITH A SINE FUNCTION The maximum average monthly temperature in New Orleans is 82°F and the minimum is 54°F. The table shows the average monthly temperatures.

30. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley1.1-30 6.4-30 Example 6 MODELING TEMPERATURE WITH A SINE FUNCTION (continued) The scatter diagram for a two-year interval suggests that the temperatures can be modeled with a sine curve. (a)Using only the maximum and minimum temperatures, determine a function of the form where a, b, c, and d are constants, that models the average monthly temperature in New Orleans. Let x represent the month, with January corresponding to x = 1.

31. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley1.1-31 6.4-31 Example 6 MODELING TEMPERATURE WITH A SINE FUNCTION (continued) Use the maximum and minimum average monthly temperatures to determine the amplitude a: The average of the maximum and minimum temperatures gives c: Since temperatures repeat every 12 months,

32. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley1.1-32 6.4-32 Example 6 MODELING TEMPERATURE WITH A SINE FUNCTION (continued) To determine the phase shift, observe that the coldest month is January, when x = 1, and the hottest month is July, when x = 7. So choose d to be about 4. The table shows that temperatures are actually a little warmer after July than before, so experiment with values just greater than 4 to find d. Trial and error using a calculator leads to d = 4.2.
