Trigonometry explores the relationships between angles and sides in triangles, with a focus on sinus, cosinus, and tangens functions. These fundamental concepts are crucial for understanding circular motion, wave patterns, and various mathematical applications.
- The unit circle provides a visual representation of trigonometric functions
- Radian measure offers an alternative to degree measure for angles
- Sine and cosine graphs exhibit periodic behavior with key characteristics
- General sine and cosine functions can be modified using parameters
