Trigonometry

SEMESTER: 0.5 CREDITS - NCAA Eligible

Trigonometry is offered for students who want to continue a rigorous study of mathematics. The course begins by reviewing the real number system, characteristics of functions, and solving equations. Topics from right-triangle trigonometry lead to an in-depth study of the unit circle and trigonometric functions, their graphs, and their inverses. In their study of analytic trigonometry, students verify identities and solve trigonometric equations. The course covers the Law of Cosines, the Law of Sines, and vectors. It closes with a complete study of conics, parametric equations, and polar curves. Before enrolling in this course, students should have completed Algebra II and Geometry.
