Graphing y = tan x

Reference section 2.2.

Graphs of y = A sin x Graphs of y = A sin Bx

Together p. 56,example 1 Do p. 59 Turn #1 a

Graphs of y= A cos x Graphs of y = A Cos Bx

Together, example 2, p. 58 Do Turn #2 b

Graphs of y = A tan x Graphs of y= A tan Bx

Together example 3, do turn 3, p. 59

Assignment: To be determined

September 23 - 25 days 5 - 1

Reference Section 2.1 - Graphing circular functions 2.1 -The booklet is finished.

p. 46 # 1- 5 - should be finished.

Friday - in class exercise - Reference 2.1 (handout)

Yellow handout exercise done together with an assignment. Due Monday.

September 21, 22, 23 days 3,4,5

We have completed the work in Chapter 1 - An introduction to circular functions.

September 21 - Reference 1.5 - The Trigonometric Functions and the Unit Circle --- the Circular Functions

Asssignment - p. 35 #5

September 22 - p. 36 , # 7 we did together in class... "The wrapping function"

Booklet started - Chapter 2 - 2.1 Graphs of Circular Functions - we did together the y=sin x

September 23 - Continue in booklet 2.1 - finish the y = cos x on 4th page.

The 5th page is new vocabulary. Text reference page 41 & 42.

Go back to the booklet 5th & 6th pages. Sine wave and cosine wave.

Study the summary on page 46.

Assignment:

Use this information to do exercise p. 46 ... # 1 - 5 I have provided it on the handout so that you can write on it.

Text page 49 ... # 11 & 12, 14, 15, 17.

September 15 & 16 - Days 5 &6

September 15 - Reference 1.4 - Arc Length, Angular Speed, Linear Speed

Assoignment p. 26, 27... we worked together.

Turn #6 - I gave you the wrong answer ... linear speed would be 1382.3 cm/minute

Finish p. 12, text # 4 & 5

Booklet 1.3 Radian Measure we started this new material. No assignment on this on September 9.

September 10 - we will continue with Radian Measure, Reference section 1.3. The assignment is recorded on the last page of the booklet.

Semester 1- Start up August 31 - Sept 4, 2009

Welcome back to school. You have an exciting year ahead... Grade 12.

Time to set lifetime goals, work toward scholarship $, and make plans for 2010-2011.

Many of you will be going on to post secondary and if you have chosen this class, quite likely you will be choosing a career path that will involve further study in mathematics.

This class will focus on the study of trigonometry. We begin by "clearing the cobwebs" which means we will make sure that you all have the prerequisite skills in place in order to learn the new material.

Day 1 - August 31 - Distribution of course outline, evaluation plan, formula sheet,and other resources.

Chapter 1 - An Introduction To Circular Functions page 1

Day 2, 3, September 1 & 2 Handout for Section 1.1. - Clearing Cobwebs

We worked this section together with the following assignment:

p. 5 exercises for Section 1.2 # 1 - 5

Day 4 - September 3 - Section 1.2, Working With Degrees, Minutes Seconds

Handout Section 1.2 - we worked through some of the material to the end of example 4 and Turn # 1, p. 8

Assignment : Exercises Section 1.2 , p. 12 # 1- 3

Quiz - Material from Section 1.2
