Common Core Standard: Functions: Trigonometric Functions

  • Extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle:
    • A.1 Understand radian measure of an angle as the length of the arc on the unit circle subtended by the angle.
    • A.2 Explain how the unit circle in the coordinate plane enables the extension of trigonometric functions to all real numbers, interpreted as radian measures of angles traversed counterclockwise around the unit circle.
    • A.3 (+) Use special triangles to determine geometrically the values of sine, cosine, tangent for π/3, π/4 and π/6, and use the unit circle to express the values of sine, cosine, and tangent for x, π + x, and 2π - x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real number.
  • Model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions:
    • B.5 Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
