MAT 142 Trigonometric Functions

Credits: (1)
This course provides a functions (circular) approach to the study of trigonometry. Topics include unit circle, radian measure, identities and proofs, multiple and half angle formulas, inverse trigonometric functions, and solving trigonometric equations. Graphing calculator use is required. Prerequisite(s): Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, or permission of department.

Designation(s): Liberal Arts

Learning Outcomes
  1. Find the trigonometric function values of angles in radian measure.
  2. Create and interpret the graphs of the basic trigonometric functions.
  3. Demonstrate the use of appropriate identities to find the exact trigonometric values of standard and non-standard angles.
  4. Construct proofs for basic trigonometric identities.
  5. Demonstrate the use of inverse trigonometric functions to solve trigonometric equations.
