The Wave Function a cosx + b sinx R cos(x±α) or R sin(x±α) What is to be learned? How to express a cosx + b sinx in the form R cos(x±α) or R sin(x±α)
Graph 1 -1 1 1 -1 1 1 -1 -1 1
√2 1 -1 -√2
General Method So and Reminder 1 Quadrant 1 because cosα and sinα both positive
Quadrant of α according to signs of cosα and sinα
Page 253 no. 2 Reminder So 1 and Quadrant 4 because cosα positive and sinα negative
Page 253 no. 7b) So and Minimum required working α in Quadrant 4 because cosα positive and sinα negative and
