Consider the function $f\left(x\right)=\sin x$f(x)=sinx and $g\left(x\right)=\sin\left(x-90^\circ\right)$g(x)=sin(x90°).

Consider the function $f\left(x\right)=\cos x$f(x)=cosx and $g\left(x\right)=\cos\left(x-90^\circ\right)$g(x)=cos(x90°).

The functions $f\left(x\right)$f(x) and $g\left(x\right)=f\left(x+k\right)$g(x)=f(x+k) have been graphed on the same set of axes in grey and black respectively.
