Ch 44: GACE Math: Solving Trigonometric Equations
About This Chapter
GACE Math: Solving Trigonometric Equations - Chapter Summary
The lesson videos of this chapter have been put together to help you prepare for questions on the GACE Mathematics exam asking you to solve trigonometric equations. In these lessons, expert instructors will demonstrate solving trigonometric equations with identities, inverses, restricted domains and infinite solutions. After this chapter you should have a better understanding of:
- Solving for x in trigonometric equations
- Trigonometric equations with identities and inverses
- Properties of inverse trigonometric functions
- Trigonometric equations with restricted domains and infinite solutions
Practice the skills reviewed in these lesson videos by completing lesson worksheets and find areas of weakness by taking lesson quizzes. After receiving the results from your quizzes, be sure to reinforce material you haven't mastered by returning to the video lessons. Use video tags to go directly to the areas in lesson videos that talk about your areas of weakness. If at any time you have a question about the material, be sure to ask our instructors for assistance so that you can master the skills presented in this chapter before you take the GACE Mathematics test.
1. How to Solve Trigonometric Equations for X
Adding trigonometric functions into standard algebra equations adds complexity. Learn how to solve trigonometric equations for x and how to use inverse operations to simplify equations.
2. Solve Trigonometric Equations with Identities & Inverses
After watching this video lesson, you will be able to solve trigonometric equations by making use of trigonometric identities and inverses. Learn the steps to take to get to your solution.
3. Properties of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
After watching this video lesson, you will understand why our inverse trigonometric functions have a limited range. Learn what this does. Also learn the notation for these functions.
4. Solving Trigonometric Equations with Restricted Domains
After watching this video lesson, you will be able to find the right answer for a trigonometric equation with a restricted domain. Learn what it means to have a restricted domain and what you need to do to find your answer.
5. Solving Trigonometric Equations with Infinite Solutions
Watch this video lesson and you will learn that all trigonometric equations have an infinite set of solutions. But you will also see that we can still go ahead and solve our equations and find concrete answers.
