PreCalculus: Lesson Plan * 8/25/2006

  • Quickstart p.322 #121 - 124
  • Lesson
    (4.5) Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions p.323
    1. Complete a table of values for y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) using
      -2π, -3π/2, -π, -π/2, 0, π/6 (sine only), π/3 (cosine only) π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π as x values.
    2. Graph the sine and cosine functions using the table of values.
    3. Determine Max, min, and intercepts for sine and cosine functions
    4. Period for y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) is 2π
    5. y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) are a π/2 horizontal translation of each other so we get the cofunction relationships listed at the bottom of p.305
    6. Simplify Radicals Practice (Block I only)
      √27/√81 = √3
      √(25/4) = 5/2
      √(50/9) = 5√2/3
      √72/√50 = 6/5
      √75 - 4√75 = -15√3
  • HW
    Read Section 4.5 - Graph of Sine and Cosine
