4.6 Day 2, 4.7 and Unit Circle Review

4.6 Day 2, 4.7 and Unit Circle Review

-Graphing Tangent and Cotangent

-Inverse Trig Functions

-Unit Circle

Lesson Goals

• Understand how asymptote equations are found for tangent, and cotangent by finding when the function in the denominator is equal to 0

• Graph and write tangent and cotangent equations and identify the period and asymptote equations

• Explain why and how the domains of sine, cosine, and tangent must be restricted to create an inverse function

• Evaluate inverse trig expressions and equations

• Fill in blank unit circle

WARMUP!

The unit circle is divided into four quadrants. What are the angle and radian values for each quadrant.

write out answers like this:
ex. Q1:
degrees: 0 $\degree$ - 90 $\degree$  

radians: 0 - $\pi$ / 2  

Review of Inverse Trig Functions 

y = arcsin (x)
D: [-1, 1]
R: [- $\pi$ / 2 , $\pi$ / 2]
y = arccos (x)
D: [-1, 1]

R: [0 , $\pi$ ]

y = arctan (x)

D: (- $\infty$  , $\infty$ )

R: [- $\pi$ / 2, $\pi$ / 2]   

Inverse Trig Functions

Review of Tangent and Cotangent

- Cotangent is the reciprocal of Tangent

cot $\theta$ = 1 / tan $\theta$  

                = cos $\theta$ / sin $\theta$  

 
 tan $\theta$ = sin $\theta$ / cos $\theta$

Multiple Choice

Is this a tangent or cotangent graph?

• tangent

• cotangent

Multiple Choice

What is the period of y = tan (1/2x)?

(Hint: use "B = horizontal stretch / shrink" from the 4.5 day 2 notes, don't need to look at the graph to find the period. You can calculate it with the period formula)

Period = Period of Parent Function / B

• 2 $\pi$

• 1/2 $\pi$

• $\pi$

• 1/4 $\pi$

Multiple Choice

What is equation for the vertical asymptotes of y = cot (3x)? (Graph corresponds to y = cot (3x) equation)

• x = 1/3 $\pi$ n

• x = 3 $\pi$ n

• x = 1/3 $\pi$ + $\pi$ n

• x = 3 $\pi$ + $\pi$ n
