👉 Learn the basics of graphing trigonometric functions. The graphs of trigonometric functions are cyclical graphs which repeats itself for every period. To graph the parent graph of a trigonometric function, we first identify the critical points which includes: the x-intercepts, the maximum/minimum values, the asymptotes and any other important feature of the graph of the trigonometric function. After obtaining these points we then plot the points on the x-y coordinate plane and graph accordingly.

After we have graphed the parent graph, we then apply the required transformations to the parent graph to obtain the required graph. The amplitude is the maximum point on the graph, the period is the distance/time for a complete oscillation, the phase shift is the horizontal shift from the parent function, the vertical shift is the vertical shift from the parent function.
