what is the reference angle for tanX=√3
X= 60° or π/3 bc remember tan=sin/cos, so when sine is divided by cosine it should equal √3, so the only options in the unit circle would be sin=√3/2 & cos=1/2 since (√3/2)/(1/2)=(√3/2)x(2) = √3

difference between finding cotθ graph & tanθ graph
1)tanθ's 1st parent point is on the midline, while cotθ's 1st parent "point" is the amplitude - look at previous 2 slides to compare cot & tan grahs 2) the important point above the midline for tanθ is on the right of the midline important point, but on cotθ is on the left of the midline important point 3) the important point below the midline for tanθ is on the left of the midline important point, but on cotθ is on the right of the midline important point -for cotθ the x-ints & asymptotes are switched from the tanθ graph, but everything else is the same -bc cotθ=cosθ/sinθ, while tanθ=sinθ/cosθ -so where there used to be an x-int for tanθ, replace that w/ a asymptote & vice versa

guidelines for verifying identities
1)work w/ 1 side at a time(the side which is complex, so you need to simplify & if both sides look complex, then choose the side that looks like there's a good step to help you solve) 2)look for chances to factor, add fractions, square binomials, or create 1 term denominators 3)Look for chances to use basic identities 4)If nothing else works turn everything into sines & cosines
what coordinate does 1) cosA 2) sinA 3) tanA equal in a unit circle
1)x coordinate 2)y coordinate 3)y coordinate/x coordinate (bc sine/cosine) -makes sense bc in a unit circle the hypotenuse is 1, so when sin=opposite/hypotenuse & cos=adjacent/hypotenuse the denominator(hypotenuse) is always 1, so the value is just the y value(opposite) or x value(adjacent)
what reference angle does tanX=√3/3
30 degrees (or π/6) -bc tan=opposite/adjacent=(1/2)/(√3/2)=√3/3 -so the angle of -tanX=√3/3 would be 11π/6 or 5π/6 bc they both have a reference angle of π/6 & they are in quadrants where tan is negative

what is the inverse of a trig. function?
it's the trig. function to the power of negative one or place "arc" before it: sin^-1, cos^-1, tan^-1 aka arcsin, arccos, arctan -not csc or sec, but sin^-1 & cos^-1 bc: csc/sec is the reciprocal of sin/cos (cscX∙sinX=1), while sin^-1/cos^-1 is the inverse (sin^-1∙sinX= 0.0087≠1)
difference between finding cotθ graph & -tanθ graph
negative tanθ means that the point are reflected so the above midline points are now on the left of the midline point, which is just like cotθ, but the phase shift indicated on the cotθ gives the 1st asymptote, while the P.S. on the -tanθ graph gives the 1st midline point, so there's just a shift difference between the 2
one period of a sine curve
the curve/graph formed when the x-values being plotted are all from the first 360 degrees(or 2radian) -they repeat after this -to find the period, it's the x-value distance from a midline point then passes through a peak & valley, to the other midline point
how to find the period(per) from any trig. graph
the distance between any 2 points that are equally spaced out throughout the graph & that have the same y-value (but remember that when using 2 midlines points' x-value, those 2 points should have a valley & a peak in between) -a period should start at a midline point, include one valley & one peak, then end on the next midline point(for csc & sec when you draw the sin or cos graph when finding the equation & the same applies) -or to find the distance of a period it could start at 1 peak(or 1 valley) & end at the next peak(or valley) (this is OK to calculate the distance of a period, but is not officially the definition of a period) -EX: x-value distance between adjacent midpoint & midpoint, OR valley & valley, OR peak & peak
midline -what is for cosine & sine parent graphs
the line which the valleys & peaks always go back to -always y=0(or x-axis) for cosine & sine parent graphs

when the sinX is not between -1 & 1 -same applies to cosX, cscX, & secX -EX: sinX=-4/3 is no solution
how to find when the asymptotes of a cscθ or a secθ graph occur
x= the 1st, smallest positive asymptote +/- 1/2period -1/2 a period is the distance between each midline point -also all the asymptotes are when cscθ=undefined, so when the denominator is 0 -0 is a positive -you can use any asymptote, but it's easier to just use the 1st, smallest positive asymptote
in the equation for a trig function where is the 1)amplitude 2)vertical shift(where our midline is) 3)helps determine the period in a trig function 4)phase/horizontal shift 5) domain of a trig function graph(sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot) 6) range of a trig function graph(sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot)
y = asinb(x − c) + d 1)coefficient infront of trig function(a) -for sin: after the 1st point of a curve(on the midline) the next important point(right) is 1 amplitude up, but if "a" is negative then the next important point is 1 asymptote down the midline -for cos: a parent curve usually starts from above the midline, but if "a" is negative then you start curve below midline -EX: y=2cos would start the parent curve at a y-value of 2, but y=-2cos would start the parent curve at y=-2 2)the # being added(d) -y=d 3)coefficient infront of the angle(b) -usually a period is 2π, then the coefficient infront of the angle would make the period 2π/b -there should never be a coefficient infront of x in the angle (x − c), so take that coefficient out of the parentheses 4)horizontal(phase shift; moves graph left of right)(c) -x MINUS c means you're going right c -this is where your parent curve starts(starts at c instead of the y-axis) 5) for csc, cot, sec, tan: R, x≠asymptote for sin, cos:(-∞,∞) -means all real numbers except for when x= asymptotes 6)for csc, cot, sec, tan: (-∞,∞) for sin, cos: [y-value of the valleys, y-valley of the peaks]
how to find the phase shift(P.S.) from a 1) cos graph 2) sin graph
y = asinb(x − c) + d or y = acosb(x − c) + d 1) -if you make "a" pos: the x-value of ANY valley(they all work) -if you make "a" neg: the x-value of ANY peak 2) -if you make "a" pos: the x-value of ANY point on the midline where the peak is directly after that point -if you make "a" neg: the x-value of ANY point on the midline where the valley is directly after that point
how to graph tanθ(in 7 steps)
y = atanb(x − c) + d 1)state the amplitude(a), period(π/b), phase shift(c) 2)plot the 1st parent point -on the midline, 1 phase shift 3)plot points on the midline: the next point is 1 period away from the previous one 4)draw asymptotes: in the middle of the midline points 5)draw the main points above the midline: in between a midline point & the closest asymptote, the y-value goes up from the midline by 1 amplitude(a) 6)draw the important points below the midline: in between a midline point & asymptote, the y-value goes down from the midline by 1 amplitude(a) 7) connect points & use asymptotes!
