After attempting this project I was able to see how the unit circle relates to the x/y plane. At the beginning I was confused by how the unit circle related to anything, for I understood the unit circle in how it relates to radians but not how it relates to a graph. After working with Ian for a few days we were able to see how the different trig functions would produce different results. We were able to recognize how Tangent, Cotangent were similar, we also knew to look out for vertical asymtotes for those trig functions. We could also see how the two special triangles (40-60-90, and 45-45-90) triangles related to sine, cosine, secant, and co-secant. Using the special triangles was a big help in being able graph the points given to us. After doing a couple to practice before the test Ian and I were able to visualize the look of the graphs that we were plotting points for. |
