Trig starts on Monday

Starting December 11th we will be beginning our unit on trig functions. It might be a good idea for you to review your unit circle and trig learned in Geometry. I have assigned a unit circle lesson on khan academy and am including links to a blank unit circle and a filled in unit circle below. You will need to have your unit circle memorized!

Here is a quick review from the website Math is Fun: Unit circle review

Footnote: where do the values come from?

We can use the equation x2 + y2 = 1 to find the lengths of x and (which are equal to cosand sin when the radius is 1):
triangle 45 inside unit circle

45 Degrees

For 45 degrees, x and y are equal, so y=x:
x2 + x2 = 1
2x2 = 1
x2 = ½
x = y = √(½)
triangle 30 60 inside unit circle

60 Degrees

Take an equilateral triangle (all sides are equal and all angles are 60°) and split it down the middle.
The "x" side is now ½,
And the "y" side is:
(½)2 + y2 = 1
¼ + y2 = 1
y2 = 1-¼ = ¾
y = √(¾)

30 Degrees

30° is just 60° with x and y swapped, so x = √(¾) and y = ½
And:
√(½) is also this:simplify sqrt(1/2) = sqrt(2/4) = sqrt(2)/sqrt(4) = sqrt(2)/2
And √(¾) is also this:simplify sqrt(3/4) = sqrt(3)/sqrt(4) = sqrt(3)/2
And here is the result (same as before):
AngleSinCosTan=Sin/Cos
30°1/2root3/21√3 = √33
45°root2/2root2/21
60°root3/21/2√3

Welcome Back

Welcome back to school. This year will be an excited year as we dig deeper into a variety of algebraic functions and relations. We will also learn more about the trigonometric functions you learned in Honors Geometry and will build on the Statistical Analysis skills you learned in Algebra 1.
