Functions and equations 2
The aim of the module is for the student
• gets acquainted with mathematical modeling using sine and cosine functions as well as exponential and logarithmic functions
• investigates sine and cosine functions using unit circle symmetries
• can solve trigonometric equations of type sin f(x) = a or sin f(x) = sin g(x)
• can apply the connection between sine and cosine functions
sin²x + cos²x = 1
• knows the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions and is able to solve related equations
• be able to use software to study functions and solve equations in connection with applications.
