trigonometry Flashcards
1
Q
possible questions
A
- solving trig equations
- sketch trig graphs
- double angle formula
- addition formula
- wave function
- solve the equation with the wave function
- solve the equation using double angle formula
- max and min values
2
Q
sketch trig graphs process
A
- question form y= asin(bx+c) or y= acos(bx+c)+d
- amplitude=a with verticle shift from ±d
- number of cycles=b and period 360÷b (if b was 4, graph would repeat 4 times)
ㅤ - if amplitude asked for, find middle between top and bottom
- if period asked for, do 360÷b(4) which would =90

Q
solving trig equation process
A
- 3sin2x= 1 0<x<360
- sin2x= 1/3 0<2x<720
- 2x= sin⁻¹ (1÷3)
- 2x= 19.5, 160.5 (here, add 360 if within limits)
- 2x= 379.5, 520.5
- x= 9.75, 80.25, 189.75, 260.25 (divide all answers by whatever is infront of x)

Q
how to find x on a triangle
A
if hypotenuse, then;
*x²= 2²+2²
*x²= 8
*x= √8
5
Q
wave function process
A
- expand with addition formula
- equate co-efficients
- calculate k
- calculate a
- write in original formula
k(cosx-a)= k[cosxcosa+sinxsina]
= kcoscoa+ksinxsina
= 2cosx+3sinx
kcosa= 2
ksina= 3
k= √2²+3²
k=√13
tana= sina/cosa
tana= 3/2
a=tan⁻¹(1÷3)
a= 56.3
√13cos (x-56.3)
6
Q
solve equation with wave function
A
a) =√41sin (x+0.896)
b) hence, solve 4sinx+5cosx= 5.5
√41sin (x+0.896)= 5.5
sin (x+0.896)= 5.5/√41
x+0.896= sin⁻¹(5.5÷√41)
x+0.896= 1.033, 2.108
x= 0.137, 1.212
7
Q
max and min values
A
q: y= 3sin (x-π/3)
3sin (x-π/3)= 3
sin(x-π/3)= 1
x-π/3= 90
x= 5π/6
