graphing can be as simple as choosing a few points and then just "connecting the dots" :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me to do it

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay, say we have the coordinate system |dw:1425305919492:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes then

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Do you have a calculator with you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i have

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Good. Now, there's no need to be totally accurate here, just see the pattern... Say we mark out 1 and -1|dw:1425306022747:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 1 and -1?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I just marked them out on the graph :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okay do we need to get the sin pi etc?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Sure. Let's mark those out on the x-axis.|dw:1425306128824:dw| each mark is pi/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what pi/2? can u label it i cant understand

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

|dw:1425306279888:dw|
