Course Objectives

  • Primary Objectives- By the next class period students will be able to:
    • Understand the inverse sine, inverse cosine, and inverse tangent functions.
    • Evaluate inverse trigonometric functions for some special angles such as pi/6, pi/4 and pi/3 and related angles.
    • Evaluate an expression with mixed trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions.
  • Sub Objectives- The objectives will require that students be able to:
    • Undertand the definition of trigonometric functions
    • Understand what is the inverse funciton
    • At what domain the Sine, Cosin and Tangent are one-to-one functions
  • Difficulties- Students may have difficulty:
    • Confused with the notation of trig. functions and inverse trig. functions
    • Distinguish the difference between them
  • Real-World Contexts- There are many ways that students can use this material in the real-world, such as:
    • periodic motion, estimate the height of the building.
