Lesson 1: The fundamental Trigonometric Identities

Six trigonometric ratios (6)

Quotient identities (2)

Pythagorean identity (3)

Even/Odd identities (6)

Odd: sin, csc, tan, cot

Even: cos, sec

Lesson 2: Verifying trigonometric identities

Guidelines for verifying identities

Working on one side only

Look for fundamental identities

Factor, add, subtract, and conjugate

Change everything to sine and cosine when everything fails

Lesson 3: Solving advanced trigonometric equations

Lesson 4: Graphing trigonometric functions

Lesson 5: Sum, difference, and double angle identities

Rules

Algebraically verify even/odd property

Start with f(−x), see whether it can be simplifed into f(x) or −f(x)

Lesson 6: Harmonic motion

Simple harmonic motions: described by sinusoidal function

y=a⋅sin⁡(b(x−h)+k

Amplitude: a

Number of cycles in a period: b (period: 2π/b)

Horizontal shift: h

Vertical shift: k
