Some things you need to KNOW in order to pass quizzes and exams
  • Switch Between polar and rectangular coorrdinates.
  • Write complex number in standar form and trigonometric form. Multiply complex number, take n-th roots of complex number.
  • Perform operation with vectors: addition, multiplication by a scalar, taking magnitude, dot product...
  • Know how to use the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.
  • The formulas for arc length, linear speed, angular speed and the area of a Sector of the circle (you find them accross section 4.1 of the book)
  • The conversion formulas to pass from radian to degrees and from degree to radians (again you find them in section 4.1 of the book).
  • The unit circle with special angles, and consequently the values of sine and cosine in these special angles (Tables at page 303 and 315 of the book).
  • The definitions of trigonometric functions (Tables at page 295, 303 and 312 of the book).
  • Domain period and parity (wether they are even or odd) of sine and cosine (page 297 of the book).
  • The trigonometric identities (bottom of page 303 and table at page 304 of the book).
  • How to find reference angles and use them to compute trigonometric functions.
  • Know how to graph trigonometric functions and graph of damped trigonometric functions (Sections 4.5 and 4.7 in the book).
  • Know the definitions (and how to use them) of inverse tirgonometric functions.
  • All the identities among trigonometric functions (you find them throughout Chapter 5)
