General Reminders: Use this activity sheet with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part
of the activity sheet. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises. Read the directions
carefully before doing each task. Return this activity sheet to your teacher/facilitator once you are
through with it.
DIRECTION: Complete the table below. Plot the points and connect them with a smooth
curve. (Recall prior knowledge of graphing). (Hint: remember that sin θ = y)

To find the domain and range of sin(x), let's have a circle with radius 1 and center at the
origin. For any point on this circle, if we draw a right-angled triangle its hypotenuse will
always be 1.
As we understand, the sin(x) is defined as the opposite divided by the hypotenuse. For this
unit circle, at any point, sin(x) is equal to opposite / 1. This measure of opposite can be
defined for all the points on the circle, indicating that the angle x can take any value. So, the
domain of sin(x) is all real numbers. Also, the value of sin(x), depending on the point on the
circle, can go to a maximum of 1 at x = 90 degrees and a minimum of -1 at x = 270 degrees.
So, the range of sin(x) is -1 to 1.
In short, for y = sin(x): Domain = [+ ∞, - ∞], Range = [-1, +1]
We can calculate the domain and range of cos(x). As we saw in the case of sin(x), for any
point on a unit circle, the cos(x) is equal to adjacent / 1.
The measure of adjacent can be defined for all the points on the circle, indicating that the
angle x can take any value. So, the domain of cos(x) is all real numbers. Also, the value of
cos(x), depending on the point on the circle, can go to a maximum of 1 at x = 0 degrees and
a minimum of -1 at x = 180 degrees. So, the range of cos(x) is from -1 to 1.
In short, for y = cos(x): Domain = [- ∞, + ∞]; Range = [- 1, + 1].
From the definition of tangent, tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x); value of sin(x) and cos(x) € [-1,1]
Therefore, tan(x) exists when cos(x) ≠ 0. So, domain of tan(x) is set of all the real values of x,
excluding values of x for which cos(x) = 0.

Solution:
Notice that the domain is the same as the domain for y = tan(x) because the graph was
stretched vertically -which does not change where the vertical asymptotes occur.

Graph of 𝑦 = 2 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑥.
The basic curve 𝑦 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑥 may shift horizontally. The amount of shifting either to the
left or to the right is known as the phase shift. The phase shift of the sine function is given
