In a function such as sine or cosine, we could also have a translation of the form: \(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has been ...

Many students think they've solved a trig equation when they get one answer (one size of angle \(x^\circ\)). However there's often more than one answer expected so be aware of this. Let's remind ...

Cosine and sine of an angle θ are defined to be the x and y-coordinates of the point P on the unit circle with the property that the line from O to P makes and angle θ with the positve x-axis. cos(θ) ...

In support of efforts to foreground functions as central objects of study in algebra, this study provides evidence of how secondary students use trigonometric functions in contextual tasks. The author ...
