What to Focus On

  • An angle is formed by two rays with a common end-point.
  • Anticlockwise rotation is positive and clockwise rotation is negative.
  • 1 degree is 1/360 of a revolution.

  • Unit circle gives definitions of all six trigonometric functions.
  • sin and cos have domain R and range [-1,1].
  • tan and sec are undefined at odd multiples of π/2.

  • An identity is true for all values in its domain.
  • The three Pythagorean identities are central tools.
  • Squaring both sides can help, but only after checking the domain.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any angle measure can be used directly in arc length and area formulas without converting to radians.

Degree and radian are just two names for the same value, so 180° = 180 radian.

All trigonometric functions are defined for every real number.
