Let's go through each part of the questions visible in the image:
Question 12:
Identify which graphs represent a sine function.
- A sine function is continuous and smooth, oscillating between a maximum and minimum value in a repetitive wave pattern. The function will have no asymptotes and will not diverge to infinity.
Answer for Question 12:
- Graph A and Graph C resemble typical sine functions as they follow a smooth, wave-like oscillation without any vertical asymptotes.
Question 13:
Identify which graphs represent a cosecant function.
- The cosecant function, , has vertical asymptotes at points where the sine function is zero (where the function diverges to infinity or negative infinity). This leads to a characteristic set of curves that appear like "arches" or "inverse parabolas" with asymptotes at regular intervals.
Answer for Question 13:
- Graph B and Graph D illustrate cosecant functions because they show the characteristic vertical asymptotes and the upward and downward arches between these asymptotes.
II. Directions:
Analyze the given functions and determine their properties, then sketch their graphs:
For :
- Amplitude: The coefficient of the sine function, which is .
- Period: For a sine function , the period is . Here , so the period is .
- Phase Shift: The function has inside the argument of sine, so the phase shift is to the right by .
- Vertical Shift: None, as there’s no constant term added or subtracted from the function.
- Graph Sketch: The graph will resemble a sine wave with peaks at 3 and valleys at -3, shifted right by .
For :
- Amplitude: The coefficient of the cosine function, which is .
- Period: For , the period is . Here , so the period is .
- Phase Shift: The function has inside the argument, which means a left shift of .
- Vertical Shift: There is a vertical shift down by 1 unit.
- Graph Sketch: The graph will resemble a cosine wave with peaks at 2 and valleys at -4, shifted left by and vertically shifted down by 1.
Would you like a detailed graph sketch for these functions or further explanation on any of the properties?

Tip:
When identifying trigonometric functions from graphs, remember that sine and cosine functions are continuous without asymptotes, while cosecant and secant functions will always exhibit asymptotes at specific intervals.
