Trigonometry

The topic is divided into the following subtopics:
  • Angles, arcs and sectors
  • Sine, cosine, tangent and cotangent
  • Trigonometric equations and inequalities

Angles, arcs and sectors

Part I:
  • Conversions of degrees to radians and vice versa
  • Coterminal angles, coterminal angles between 0 and 360 degrees.
  • Correspondence between angles and quadrants
  • Adding and subtracting angles
Part II:
  • Angles specified by given conditions – arithmetic mean, enumeration, …
  • Computational problems involving clocks, calculation of marching angle (azimuth)
  • Coterminal angles – complex problems
Part III:
-

Sine, cosine, tangent and cotangent

Part I:
  • Trigonometric ratios of standard angles
Part II:
  • Properties of trigonometric functions – parity, periodicity, boundedness
