Trigonometry and Vector Operations Review

This video tutorial covers solutions to a pre-calculus final exam review packet. It begins with simplifying trigonometric identities, including Pythagorean and reciprocal identities. The video then explains sum and difference identities using the unit circle. It proceeds to solve trigonometric equations and right triangle problems, applying the law of sines and cosines. Finally, it explores vector operations and the dot product.
