Sketch the graphs of the following curves on the same scale and the same axes: (i) y = cos x and y = cos (x – π/4) (ii) y = cos 2x and y = cos (x – π/4)
Sketch the graphs of the following curves on the same scale and the same axes: (i) y = cos x and y = cos (x – π/4) (ii) y = cos 2x and y = cos (x – π/4)

\[\left( \mathbf{i} \right)~y\text{ }=\text{ }cos\text{ }x\text{ }and\text{ }y\text{ }=\text{ }cos\text{ }\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }\pi /4 \right)~\]

Since, the functions \[y\text{ }=\text{ }cos\text{ }x\text{ }and\text{ }y\text{ }=\text{ }cos\text{ }\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }\pi /4 \right)\]are periodic functions with periods \[\pi \text{ }and\text{ }\pi .\]

The values of these functions are tabulated below:

The curve is:
