The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear. We begin by describing various types of numbers in use. The inverses of the trigonometric functions x siny, x cosy, etc. Thus, the range of the inverses of the trigonometric functions must be restricted to make them functions. Although students in precalculus have worked previously with parabolas and circles, they now work with ellipses and hyperbolas. Note that whether we graph y gx using the quarter marks approach or using the theorem 10. Angles can be measured in 2 ways, in degrees or in radians.

The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and. The reason they are not functions is that for a given value of x, there are an infinite number of angles at which the trigonometric functions take on the value of x. The six functions are sine sin, cosine cos, tangent tan, cosecant csc, secant sec, and cotangent cot. So when the american student calculated \35 \ as the value of \\sin a \ in example 1. Most of the topics that appear here have already been discussed in the algebra book and often the text here is a verbatim copy of the text in the other book.
