Investigate the change in a trigonometric function by multiplying
the argument

θ by 2.

1.

Press Y= CL to access and clear Y1 of an old expression.

2.

Make sure the calculator is in radian mode by pressing 2ndF SET UP ,

B (DRG) and 2 (Rad). Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the menu.

3.

Now, enter sin x for Y1 by pressing sin X/

θ/T/n ENTER and the sin (2x)

for Y2 by pressing CL sin (

2 X/

θ/T/n ) ENTER .

4.

Set your viewing window by pressing ZOOM E (TRIG) and 1

(sin x).

Note the change in the second graph versus the first graph. Engage the

trace to show the period has changed from 2
