Interactive Trigonometric Functions Visualization

Welcome to the Trigonometric Functions Explorer

This interactive visualization helps you understand the graphs and properties of trigonometric functions. Explore how each function behaves, their periods, domains, ranges, and key characteristics.

What you can explore:

  • Sine and Cosine - Continuous, periodic functions with range [-1, 1]
  • Tangent - Periodic with vertical asymptotes, range (-∞, ∞)
  • Cosecant - Reciprocal of sine, has vertical asymptotes
  • Secant - Reciprocal of cosine, has vertical asymptotes
  • Cotangent - Reciprocal of tangent, periodic with vertical asymptotes

How to Use This Visualization

Interactive Features:

  • Select Function - Choose from 6 trigonometric functions
  • Adjust Periods - Control how many periods to display
  • Toggle Visualizations - Show/hide asymptotes and key points
  • Explore Properties - See domain, range, and period information

What You'll See:

  • Function Curve (colored) - The graph of the trigonometric function
  • Vertical Asymptotes (red, dashed) - Where function is undefined
  • Key Points (colored dots) - Important points on the curve
  • Grid Lines - Help visualize the function's behavior
  • Properties Panel - Domain, range, period, and characteristics

Sine function - periodic with period 2π

More periods show more of the function's behavior

Function Characteristics

Function: f(x) = sin(x)

Period: radians

Continuous: Yes

Bounded: Yes (between -1 and 1)

Key Concepts

Period: The smallest positive value p such that f(x + p) = f(x) for all x in the domain.

Asymptotes: Vertical lines where the function approaches infinity. Occur where the function is undefined.

Reciprocal Functions: csc, sec, and cot are reciprocals of sin, cos, and tan respectively, creating different graph shapes.

Trigonometric Functions Overview

Basic Functions:

  • sin(x) - period: 2π
  • cos(x) - period: 2π
  • tan(x) - period: π

Reciprocal Functions:

  • csc(x) = 1/sin(x)
  • sec(x) = 1/cos(x)
  • cot(x) = 1/tan(x)

Key Properties:

  • sin and cos: continuous, bounded
  • tan and cot: period π, vertical asymptotes
  • csc and sec: period 2π, vertical asymptotes
