Trigonometric and Polar Functions
What is the period of the sine function sin(x)?
4π
2π
π
π/2
What characterizes a jump discontinuity in a function at a certain point?
The left and right limits exist and are finite but unequal at that point.
There are no limits because the function becomes non-real at that point.
The left and right limits agree yet differ from the function’s value at that point.
Both one-sided limits tend towards infinity but in opposite directions.
Given , which expression represents if is 's corresponding trigonometric function?
What's an example of a non-periodic function?
Sine wave (e.g., )
Polynomial (e.g., )
Tangent (e.g., )
Quadratic (e.g., )
By adding a constant to each value of curve, how will this change the appearance of the graph?
It shifts the graph horizontally right/left depending on the sign of .
It flattens or compresses the vertical stretch, thus making the waves appear less tall.
It heightens the entire wave vertically, increasing the distance between the midline and maximum/minimum values.
It zooms in or out and changes both the amplitude and period simultaneously.
What is the amplitude of the function ?
-5
5
-3
3
What unit typically measures angles in trigonometry?
Degrees
Cubic centimeters
Meters
Radians

If represents a periodic function with period , which equation represents after a phase shift right by ?
If a function has a removable discontinuity at , what must be true about the limit as approaches ?
The limit exists but does not equal .
The two one-sided limits are different as approaches .
The limit as approaches is infinity.
The limit does not exist as approaches .
What change would invert and reflect over the x-axis every point on ?
j(r) = - ext{cos}(r/-)
j(r) = ext{cos}(-r)
j(r) = - ext{cos}(-r)
j(r) = ext{cos}(r)
