Looking at word problems involving trigonmetric functions with a given angle.  Then exploring word problems without an angle and solving using the inverse.  By Thursday, my hope is to go outside and put this to the test by finding heights of certain objects using a theodolite.

Today we will be investigating right triangles with manipulatives.  Then we will solve right triangles even when only two sides are given.

After the Function Values of Angles of Any Size worksheet is done. Investigate reciprocal trigonometric functions using the textbook.  Read and take notes on pgs 749 and 750.  Keep in mind the way to evaluate the function at hand is finding the basic function at that value and flipping the answer.  Remember to rationalize the denominator.  Then try problems p752 #1-28

Exploring more about cosine and finishing up the cosine activity.  Pg 732 #1 - 14, 36  Investigating the tangent function.  Getting new daily problem sheet.

Wednesday March 7, 2012

Exploring the sine function in class.  Watching a short video.  Then analyzing graphs of periodic functions.  Possibly get to cosine as well. Assignment p 725 #22,23,28 - 39, 52

Tuesday March 6, 2012

Read and take notes from pages 720- 722 about the sine function.  Do questions #1-15 on pg 724 and on p 760 # 1- 11.  If there are any questions please write down the problem and make necessary comments so they can be answered tomorrow.

Welcome back!!!  We will be exploring the tangent function.  Watching a video as an introduction. The worksheet will be used as a review to be used with unit circle project.  Graphing sine and cosine function on Tuesday and Wednesday.
