Today, we learned more about solving trig equations. We learned that you can graph the trig equations either on a unit circle, or on a grid. A good applet to show this is linked here. http://ronblond.com/M12/Trig.Solve.APPLET/index.html . Another program you can use for graphing is called Graphmatica. You may notice that for the graph of y=tan(x), the lines are not connected. The spaces in between the lines are called the asymptotes. Where the asymptotes are, the tangent ratio is 1/0 which has no solution, leading to no graph on that value. I am very confused by most of this stuff still. The assignment for Monday is to finish the angle measurement chart.
