Trigonometry
Objectives: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
 Convert angles from degrees to radians and vice versa
 Find coterminal angles and use those angles in the unit circle
 Locate and draw reference triangles, using the angle in standard position
 Solve a right triangle (find all 3 sides and all 3 angles)
 Determine the trig functions of a particular angle using the unit circle
 Find exact values of trig functions of the reference triangles of multiples of pi/6, pi/4 or pi/3 (finding terminal point)
 Solve applications involving right triangles
 Use symmetry about the unit circle to find exact trig values
 Graph all 6 trig functions on the coordinate plane (and identify zeros, asymptotes, etc.)
 Write trigonometric functions based on application information (ferris wheel type, harmonic motion, etc.)
 Use Law of Sines and Law of Cosines to solve non-right triangles and their applications
 Use inverse trig to evaluate expressions

Trigonometric Identities and Solving Trig Equations


Objectives: Upon completion of the unit, students will be able to:
 Simplify trigonometric expressions involving trig identities
 Use trig identities to determine the exact value of an expression
 Solve trig equations (use trig identities, zero product property, using triangles, inverse trig, etc.)
