Representing trigonometric functions
This lesson develops the concept of using trigonometry to model a real-world situation. In particular students will:
- Model a periodic situation, the hight of a person on a Ferris wheel using trigonometric functions
- Interpret the constants a, b, c in the formula h = a + b cos ct in terms of the...
Trigonometric functions
This short task contains two questions on applying trigonometry.
The topics covered are:
- Linking sine, cosine and tangent
- Using Pythagoras to determine a length in a triangle and then give the tangent of an angle in surd form
- Using the Pythagorean identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1...
