Learning Outcomes
The student will be able to:
Convert angles between different units of
measure.
Find the trigonometric functions of an angle.
Find the missing sides and angles of a right
triangle.
Determine the angles with a given trig function.
Solve oblique triangles using the law of Sines.
Solve oblique triangles using the law of Cosines.
Solve quadratics by formula.
Apply quadratics to a variety of applications.
Use the laws of exponents to simplify and
combine expressions having integral exponents.
Solve radical equations manually.
Understand importance of radian measure.
Calculate trigonometric functions of an angle
given in radians.
Calculate the areas of sectors and segments.
Use radian measure to calculate arc length,
radius, or central angle.
