In this unit, students extend their knowledge of angles to rotational angles in the plane and radian measure. The six trigonometric functions are defined in terms of a right triangle. The circular functions related to the unit circle and their relationship to the trigonometric functions are explored, as well as the relationship between functions of angles and functions of real numbers. Students will analyze the properties and graphs of trigonometric and circular functions and apply those functions to real-world problems. Inverse trigonometric and circular functions are studied. Honors Precalculus students study angular and linear motion, composite trigonometric functions, and simple harmonic motion.
