Modeling With Phase Shifts: Real-world Trig Translations

Line up your model with real timing. You’ll choose phase shifts so maxima, minima, or zero crossings land at the right moments. Explain how the shift affects when events happen—without changing how big or how often...

Sample Question 1
Which function represents a cosine graph shifted π/3 units to the right?

Y = cos(x + π/3)

Y = cos(x − π/3)

Y = cos(x) + π/3

Y = cos(x) − π/3

Sample Question 2
The function y = sin(x + π/2) is equivalent to which basic trig function with no horizontal shift?

Y = cos(x)

Y = −cos(x)

Y = sin(x)

Y = −sin(x)
