May 26th's and Today's Notes

As of the notes of Periodic Functions on May 26, we have learned and relearned of clarifying the amplitude, the period, and the phase shift.

To identify the amplitude, simply clarify the difference between the sinusodial axis and the maximum or mininum.

A period is determined through of the fraction 2(pi)/b. The parameter itself can be identified by switching 'b' with the period shown.









Parameter C is the phase shift. The phase shift moves the graph either left or right on the sinusodial axis, it is normally subtracted from x. The phase shift is identified as either a whole number or pi/c if the starting point value is less than a whole number.

We were also taught of the cosine function. But it bears a very close resemblence to the Sine function, so we'll only be learning of the Sine function this year. The difference from the Sine function is that it's starting point is pi/2 units apart.












For today's notes, we learn of Sequences, a list of numbers that follow a certain pattern. We learn of two types of Sequences, Recursive and Implicit. A recursive sequence, is a list of numbers generated by continuously adding the difference to the first term. Such an equation would be y= 3 ( n - 1 ) + 4, the 3 would be identified as the difference. Take note that n would be rank. An implicit sequence is basically a list of numbers generated by a linear equation. More or less y = 3 n + 1. The difference in an linear equation would be the slope.

With that said, this scribe will now bid you adieu. As he is sleep deprived, the next scribe will be Don. Please, the person that is to take care of the scribe list, please update it regularly. This is also for anyone next year as well. If, the scribe list is used again.
