1. Sketch the graphs of the following trigonometric functions:

(i) f (x) = cos (x – π/4)

(ii) g (x) = cos (x + π/4)

(iii) h (x) = cos2 2x

(viii) g (x) = cos 2π x

Solution:

(i) f (x) = cos (x – π/4)

We know that g (x) = cos x is a periodic function with period 2π.

So, f (x) = cos (x – π/4) is a periodic function with period π. So, we will draw the graph of f (x) = cos (x – π/4) in the interval [0, π]. The values of f (x) = cos (x – π/4) at various points in [0, π] are listed in the following table:
