Other Graphs - Sin Cos Tan Exponential

You should already know what a straight line, quadratic, cubic and reciprocal look like when plotted on a graph.

In this video we will discover what the sin, cos and tan graphs look like and also exponential functions.

You don't necessarily need to know the exact values that these functions cross through, but you should at least recognise their different shapes. The sine and cosine graphs are very similar; they are repeating curves that look like a snake!! The tangent graph is very different, it looks like lots of separate parts. The exponential graph increases rapidly, getting steeper and steeper as it goes. Make sure you recognise these different graph shapes.
