It isn't possible for me to sketch the graphs that you
require here. The points of intersection can be determined in the following
way.
To find the points of intersection of the x-axis with
y = sin x, equate y = sin x = 0. We get x = arc sin 0 = 0 and pi. As the sine function
is periodic. The graph intersects the x-axis at all points given by (2*n*pi , 0) and (pi
+ 2*n*pi , 0)
Similarly the graph y = cos x intersects the
x-axis at (pi/2 + 2*n*pi, 0) and (3*pi/2 + 2*n*pi , 0)
y =
sin x intersects the y-axis at (0 , 0) and y = cos x intersects the y-axis at (0,
1).
The two graphs intersect each other at x corresponding
to sin x = cos x
=> tan x =
1
=> x = arc tan
1
=> x = pi/4
The
points of intersection of the two graphs are (pi/4 + 2*n*pi, 1/sqrt 2) and (5pi/4 +
2*n*pi , -1/sqrt 2)
y = sin x intersects the
x-axis at (2*n*pi , 0) and (pi + 2*n*pi , 0). y = cos x intersects the x-axis at (pi/2 +
2*n*pi, 0) and (3*pi/2 + 2*n*pi , 0).
y = sin x intersects the
y-axis at (0 , 0) and y = cos x intersects the y-axis at (0, 1).
The points of intersection of
y = sin x and y = cos x are (pi/4 + 2*n*pi, 1/sqrt 2) and (5pi/4 + 2*n*pi , -1/sqrt
2)
