3 quarters down, 1 to go! Can you believe how fast the year is flying by?!
Enjoy your week off! Rest up, relax, and have fun! Recharge your mental batteries, as we're going to continue getting into more and more difficult trig "stuff" after break!
When we come back we'll start off by looking at the graphs of tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant (section 4.6); then, we'll start to explore the inverse functions and their graphs, arcsin(x) and arccos(x) (section 4.7). That we'll end our unit, and then it's test time.
Unit 5 is one of the toughest we will work through--solving trig equations and trig identities. Trig equations will bring back the unit circle--you still have to have it mastered! Then we'll do the trig identities, which will combine all of your algebra knowledge with trig stuff! It's hard!
If you're bored one day over break, start to explore some of this stuff! Look at sections 4.6 and 4.7 in your book, or do some googling to look up the graphs and inverse functions I mentioned above! Anything you can do on your own will make your life easier when we're back!
Have an awesome break everyone! See you in 10ish days!
