Sinusoids

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 skills quiz at some point.

12/20 HW p.357-358/13-41 odd, 42, 49, 50, 53, 73, 75
12/21 CW p.360/91-96   HW p.357-359/51, 52, 54-57, 59-69 odd, 70-80 even

Circular Functions

Circular functions (4.3) are a big part of understanding trigonometry conceptually. We will spend a few days making sure you understand. Any problems posted in black are the problems you have to really push yourself to understand - don't just give up and wait for me to go over them.

12/13 Demana p.347-349/1,3,7,27-35 odd, 41-53 odd, 60-64, 67-76;
12/14 Brown p.272-27/17-27 odd, 29-32, 3-41 odd

Trigonometry begins!

Trigonometry is our longest unit spanning more than two months and three tests. We start in the Demana book but will move into the Brown book as we progress.
