Solving Trigonometric Equations-Problem Solving

Trigonometry Equations Critical Thinking Problems and step-by-step solutions.

Students think critically to demonstrate knowledge

• Trigonometry involves the unit circle of cos θ, sin θ and tan θ and

periodicity using degrees and radians.

• Apply the appropriate formulas and use mathematical strategies to

solve equations involving trigonometric functions algebraically.
