Q. Graphs of Sin x and Cos x ?

Ans.

The sine and cosine functions are related to the path that an object might take around a circle.

Suppose a dolphin was swimming over the waves in a circular pattern. His path could help us draw a sine or a cosine graph!

The dolphin's height, or y-coordinate will trace out the sine curve.
