Additional Trigonometric Graphs

    This topic presents the graphs of trigonometric functions with some type of transformation applied to it. For example, applying an absolute value function to a trigonometric function yields a similarly shape function by relecting the negative portion of the graph through the y-axis. Other types of transformations include, vertical transformations, sums and differences, and damping effects.

    If the  six basic trigonometric graphs are known then sketching the graphs of an absolute value of one of these graphs can be obtained by reflection the negative portion of the graph through the -axis. Here are some graphs:
