• Precalculus Honors Syllabus

    This course is designed for mathematically talented students who are interested in pursuing mathematics at an advanced level, particularly Advanced Placement Calculus. The course focuses on trigonometry, function analysis, and an introduction to calculus that is designed to prepare students for success in future advanced mathematics courses. Graphing, problem-solving, and analysis are stressed. Graphing calculator use is emphasized. The use of technology is infused with gathering, analyzing, and communicating mathematical information.

    Unit 8:  Circular Trigonometry 

     Find co-terminal angle(s), reference angle, and convert to radians.

    Apply the six basic trigonometric ratios to find values for angles on the unit circle.

    Determine the value of the six trigonometric functions of a given angle not on the unit circle: (1) knowing a point through which the terminal side of the angle passes, or (2) given characteristics and constraints of the angle.

     Evaluate trigonometric functions of angles and solve simple trigonometric equations without the use of a calculator.
