Inquiry Activity Summary
1. Where does sin²x+cos²x=1 come from to begin with?Example with one of the "Magic 3" ordered pairs from the Unit circle.
2.
Inquiry Activity Reflection
1. The connections that I see between Units N, O, P, and Q so far are all of the concepts deal with triangles or angles of some sort. For example we have worked with right triangles, non-right triangles, obtuse angles, acute angles. For the non-right triangles we had to learn about the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. Another connection is that we learned how to utilize sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent along the other units to find missing pieces of information. In addition, all the trigonometry functions related to the unit circle.
2. If I had to describe trigonometry in THREE words, they would be complex, memorization, and concise.
