Class 11 RD Sharma Solutions - Chapter 6 Graphs of Trigonometric Functions - Exercise 6.3

Sketch the graphs of the following functions:

Question 1: y = sin² x

Solution:

As we know that,

y = sin² x = 

On shifting the origin at (0, 1/2), we get

X = x and Y = 

On substituting these values, we get

The maximum and minimum values of Y are  and  respectively and shift it by 1/2 to the up.

As the equation in the form of y = - f(x), the graph become inverted of y = f(x)

Question 2: y = cos² x

Solution:

As we know that,

y = cos² x = 

On shifting the origin at , we get

X = x and Y = 

On substituting these values, we get

The maximum and minimum values of Y are  and  respectively and shift it by 1/2 to the up.

Question 3: y = sin² 

Solution:

To obtain this graph y-0 = sin² 

On shifting the origin at (,0), we get

X =  and Y = y – 0

On substituting these values, we get

Y = sin² X

First we draw the graph of Y = sin² X and shift it by π/4 to the right.

Question 4: y = tan 2x

Solution:

To obtain this graph y = tan 2x,

First we draw the graph of y = tan x and then divide the x-coordinates of the points where it crosses x-axis by 2.
