- This chapter introduced and reviewed angles, cyclic processes, trigonometric, and periodic functions
- amplitude, period, frequency, and phase were defined and identified with graphical properties
- the functions cosine and sine correspond to \((x, y)\) coordinates of a point moving around a circle of radius \(1 . \tan (x)=\sin (x) / \cos (x)\) is their ratio.
- rhythmic processes can be approximated by a sine or a cosine graph once the period, amplitude, mean, and phase shift are identified.
- to define an inverse trigonometric function, the domain of the original trig function has to be restricted to make it one-to-one (no repeated \(y\) values).
- Applications addressed in this chapter included:
- electrocardiograms detecting the electrical activity of the heart;
- daylight hours fluctuating with period of one year;
- hormone levels that change on a daily rhythm; and
- phases of the moon, with a \(29.5\) day period.
- What is the range of the function \(y=8 \sin (2 t)\) ?
- Does a phase shift change the period of a trigonometric function?
- If, in a 1-minute interval, a heart beats 50 times, what is the length of a heart beat cycle?
- Using the following right angle triangle, determine:
- \(\tan (\alpha)\)
- \(\arccos (\sin (\theta))\)
- \(\cos (\arccos (\sin (\alpha)\)
