AP Pre-Calc (3.1-3.3)

3.1

  • 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

3.2

  • 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)

3.3

  • 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
