AP Pre-Calc (3.1-3.3)
periodic relationship- output values repeat a pattern in regular intervals
will be clearly visible when observed graphically
amplitude - how far it is from the midline (y-values)
cycle = period - one complete interval
functions can have multiple periods
MORE PROPERTIES - these will remain consistent throughout the periods
concavity
increasing/ decreasing
rate of change
angle - represented by 2 rays on a graph
vertex - where the 2 rays meet
initial ray/ side = x-axis
terminal side = hypotenuse
RADIANS- measurement of an angle in standard position with a circle or arc
arc length = radius length
unit circle has a radius of 1
SIN - opposite/ hypotenuse
COS- adjacent/ hypotenuse
TAN- slope= y/x= opposite/ adjacent
(cosine, sine) = (x, y)
understand the unit circle
origin = (0,0)
radius = 1
180 degrees = pi
pi/3 = 60-degree triangle
pi/4 = 45-degree triangle
pi/6 = 30-degree triangle
use SOH CAH TOA to find sin, cos, tan
remember to think about positive and negative coordinates depending on the quadrant
