This example demonstrates the amplitude and period of a cosine curve. By adjusting parameters, one can intuitively understand the basic properties of the cosine function. Construction highlights include using GeoGebra commands to create the cosine function, involving key mathematical concepts such as trigonometry, periodicity, and amplitude. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(1.0)
  2. Numeric b(1.0)
  3. Numeric c(0.0)
  4. Numeric d(0.0)
  5. f(x) = a * sin(b * x - c) + d
  6. g(x) = a * cos(b * x - c) + d
  7. h(x) = cos(x)
