  1. x = π/6, 5π/12, 2π/3, 11π/12, 7π/6; y = 5, 2, -1, 2, 5. Noah made this table for one cycle of a moved graph. Which equation matches every row?

    • y = 3 cos(2x − π/6) + 2
    • y = 3 cos(2(x − π/6)) + 2
    • y = 3 cos(2(x + π/6)) + 2
    • y = 3 sin(2(x − π/6)) + 2
  2. x = π/8, 3π/8, 5π/8, 7π/8, 9π/8; y = -2, 1, 4, 1, -2. Zee made this table for one cycle of a moved graph. Which equation matches every row?

    • y = -3 cos(2x − π/8) + 1
    • y = -3 cos(2(x + π/8)) + 1
    • y = 3 cos(2(x − π/8)) + 1
    • y = -3 cos(2(x − π/8)) + 1
  3. Ari writes y = sin(3x − ☐). Its cycle starts up from the midline at x = 2π/9. What number goes in the box, in terms of π?

  4. Bo writes y = cos(2x − ☐) + 1. Its cycle has its top row at x = 3π/8. What number goes in the box, in terms of π?

  5. Esme writes y = 4 sin(4x − ☐). Its cycle starts up from the midline at x = π/12. What number goes in the box, in terms of π?

  6. Jun writes y = -2 cos(5x − ☐) + 3. Its cycle has its bottom row at x = π/10. What number goes in the box, in terms of π?

  7. Kira wants the graph of y = -sin x using sin with a shift. Which equation draws the same graph?

    • y = sin(x + 2π)
    • y = sin(x + π/2)
    • y = sin(x + π)
  8. Luz wants the graph of y = cos x using sin with a shift. Which equation draws the same graph?

    • y = sin(x + π/2)
    • y = sin(x − π/2)
    • y = sin(x + π)
  9. Milo wants the graph of y = -cos x using cos with a shift. Which equation draws the same graph?

    • y = cos(x + π/2)
    • y = cos(x + π)
    • y = cos(x + 2π)
  10. Noah wants the graph of y = sin x using cos with a shift. Which equation draws the same graph?

    • y = cos(x + π/2)
    • y = cos(x − π)

About this worksheet

Write sine and cosine equations from graphs, and shifts and flips. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can write a sine or cosine equation from its amplitude, period, midline and starting point.
  • I can say where a row lands after a shift up, down, left or right, or a flip.
  • I can write the equation of a moved graph from a table, and see when a shift and a flip draw the same graph.

Standard: F-TF.B.5, F-BF.B.3

Words to know

flip: A minus in front: every height changes sign, so the top becomes the bottom.

vertical shift: The added number: every height moves up or down.

phase shift: The number inside: every row slides left or right.

start row: The row where one cycle begins: the top for cos, the midline going up for sin.

Common mistakes

Your child used the whole distance from the lowest to the highest height.

Your child gave the highest height instead of the height above the middle line.

Your child put the swing size where the middle height belongs.

What to say

Ask: how far is the top above the middle line?

Ask: where is the middle line, and how far above it is the top?

Ask: what height is halfway between the top and the bottom?

Questions parents ask
