The beginning of Trig...

Trigonometry is our longest unit spanning more than two months and three tests. We start in the Demana book but will move into our second book, the Brown book, as we progress.  We begin with Right Triangle Trig, mostly review from last year.  

12/12  4.1 Angles and their measures

           HW p.325-328/3-39 by 3's, 44, 46, 52-56, 72-74

12/14  4.2 Right Triangle Trig

           HW p.335-337/1, 7, 16, 19-23 odd, 59, 60, 61, 63, 66, 73, 75-78

Circular functions (4.3) are a big part of understanding trigonometry conceptually. We will spend a few days making sure you understand. Problems 67-76 on 12/17 are the problems you should really push yourself to understand - don't just give up and wait for me to go over them.

12/17  4.3 Circular Functions
           HW Demana p.347-349/2,3,7,27-35 odd, 41-53 odd, 60-64, 67-76;

12/22 - 1/02 Christmas Break! (Parent Conferences on 1/02)

Sinusoids are some of our 12 basic functions, period functions with repeating patterns. We will be spending time before and after vacation on this topic. There will be a quick skills quiz.
