Many students think they've solved a trig equation when they get one answer (one size of angle \(x^\circ\)). However there's often more than one answer expected so be aware of this. Let's remind ...

Let’s look at how to use trigonometric identities to calculate missing sides. \({sin~θ} = \frac {opposite} {hypotenuse}\) \({cos~θ} = \frac {adjacent} {hypotenuse ...

In support of efforts to foreground functions as central objects of study in algebra, this study provides evidence of how secondary students use trigonometric functions in contextual tasks. The author ...
