I drew simple triangle wave (that you can see It on graph toy).

triangle wave

   f1(x) = frac(x/(PI+5))*(PI+5)
   f2(x) = frac(-x/(PI+5))*(PI+5)
   f3(x) = min(f1(x),f2(x))*1.5

I want to change above shape like Approximating Pi and repeat It periodically along the horizontal axis.

Approximating Pi

then I want to cut negative parts of the vertical axis:

Update

Note that I know how can I draw It by shader In ShaderToy.I Just need drawing mathematics In desmos or graphtoy,because I want Extract values of wave.I want to create polygon wave form.

I drew Periodic shape that I want to change the number of polygons Desoms Link.

You can use the equation of a circle to do this. A circle can be drawn using the equation:

$r^2 = x^2 + y^2$

You can solve for the upper half of this by rewriting it in terms of $y$ like this:

$y^2 = r^2 - x^2$

so

$y = ±√(r^2 - x^2)$

But we only want the positive half. So we say just:

$y = √(r^2 - x^2)$

You can then repeat it by using (((x - 2) % 4) - 2) as the input value. In the end the equation is this:

$y = √(1^2 - (((x - 2) mod 4) - 2)^2)$

It looks like this:

In graph toy, it would be:

sqrt(1 - pow((((abs(x) - 2) % 4) - 2),2))
