EQ: How do we solve for a missing piece of the trig puzzle?

Agenda:• Warm Up• Partner Worksheet• Notes on Solving Trig Equations

Homework:• Worksheet on Inverse Trig Equations

Warm Up

What are the 6 trig functions and their ratios?

sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent

sinθ = opp/hyp

cosθ = adj/hyp

tanθ = opp/adj

cscθ = hyp/opp

secθ = hyp/adj

cotθ = adj/opp

Partner Worksheet

• Everyone gets the same worksheet• Partner 1 odds, Partner 2 evens• Complete your half and check with key• Ask me/your neighbors if you don’t

understand some of them• You’re now the Master of those problems• Complete the other half of the worksheet• Meet with your partner, check each other’s

answers and work together to help your partner Master all problems

Let’s review the pieces…

• Opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse all refer to what?

• θ, β, α, A, B, X, and Y all refer to what?• To sum it up:
