sinusoid
The basic sinusoid, the curve
in the -plane, oscillates periodically with the period of sine (http://planetmath.org/ComplexSineAndCosine), , as increases.
-
•
On the interval , the curve is ascending because the derivative of sine (http://planetmath.org/ComplexSineAndCosine), , is positive for acute angles .
-
•
Consequently, on the interval , the supplement formula tells that the sinusoid is descending.
-
•
Thus we get on the whole interval a cap-formed () arc.
-
•
Because sine is an odd function (http://planetmath.org/ComplexSineAndCosine), we have on the interval the of the cap, a cup-formed () arc.
-
•
All in all, on the period interval the sinusoid consists of the consecutive cup and cap, together a lying-S formed () arc.
-
•
The same is repeated on each other period interval where .
