Example Adding a Sinusoid to a
Linear Function
x
Graph f ( x ) = cos x - and state its domain and range.
3
The function f is the sum of the
functions g ( x ) = cos x
x
and h ( x ) = - .
3
Here's the graph of f = g + h.
Domain: ( -¥,¥ )
Range: ( -¥,¥ )

Sums That Are Sinusoids Functions
If y1 = a1 sin(b(x - h1 )) and y2 = a2 cos(b(x - h2 )), then
y1 + y2 = a1 sin(b(x - h1 )) + a2 cos(b(x - h2 ))
is a sinusoid with period 2p b .

Example Identifying a Sinusoid
Determine whether the following function is or
is not a sinusoid.
f (x) = 3cos x + 5sin x

Slide 4.6 - 10
Example Identifying a Sinusoid
Determine whether the following function is or
is not a sinusoid.
f (x) = 3cos x + 5sin x
Yes, since both functions in the sum have period 2p .

Example Identifying a Sinusoid
Determine whether the following function is or
is not a sinusoid.
f (x) = cos 3x + sin 5x

Slide 4.6 - 12
Example Identifying a Sinusoid
Determine whether the following function is or
is not a sinusoid.
f (x) = cos 3x + sin 5x
No, since cos 3x has period 2p / 3 and
sin 5x has period 2p / 5.

Damped Oscillation
The graph of y = f (x)cosbx (or y = f (x)sinbx) oscillates
between the graphs of y = f (x) and y = - f (x). When
this reduces the amplitude of the wave, it is called
damped oscillation. The factor f (x) is called
the damping factor.
