This example demonstrates the graph of the cosine function f(x) = a*cos(b(x-h))+k. Sliders control the values of a, b, h, and k, allowing students to experiment with the function's graph. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometry and function graph transformations. GeoGebra objects used include a, b, h, k, and f. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric a(1.0)
  2. Numeric b(1.0)
  3. Numeric h(1.0)
  4. Numeric k(1.0)
  5. f(x) = (a * cos((b * (x - h)))) + k
