Analytical Trigonometry Examples

Graphs of trigonometric functions look a little crazy at first, especially if you're expecting to find more triangles. They aren't too bad, though, once we get the hang of them. Let's start by look...

Tick tock, tick tock, up and down, back and forth. Trig functions truck along, keeping time to the beat better than any metronome. There's a lot of repetition going on, and we can use it to our adv...

Now that we're nice and comfy cozy with finding the values of trig functions, it is time to switch things up, literally. So far, we have learned how to find the value of the trig function given the...

Knowing how to find inverse trig functions is all well and good, but it's even better if we know how to apply them to real problems. We talked a bit about solving equations like y = sin x for x, bu...

You know those commercials that show those poor, sad, abandoned animals just looking for a home? Well, in Trigonometry Land they could have those same commercials for poor, sad, forgotten angles.Th...

Who are you? Who am I? Where did we come from, and where are we going? Could I eat an entire pizza by myself? These are all questions about our identity. Some of them are easier to answer than othe...

Way back when we started learning trig, it was all about the triangles. Since then, we've branched out to waves and circles and formulas—and, aside from our special triangles, we pretty much lost...

Trig has been our trusty old friend whenever we have needed to find a missing side or angle in a right triangle, but where's the love for non-right triangles? Just because they don't have a right a...
