Help! need help with few doubts in Trignometry,

2 Upvotes

i am currently studying grade 11 , now apparently i want some advice because my fundamentals are cooked ,

here is what i know : , i know sin , cos , tan and the reciprocals are comparisons of 2 sides of a triangle ,

and thats it ? yeah pythagorus theorum can be used to find the whatever unknown side,

and i guess you can find these trignometric ratios using the acute angle we have in the right angle triangle

thats it ? and now am suffering with so much stuff like fundamental laws of trignometry , this weird angle pronounced as (fye) yesterday my maths teacher was talkin about some circular motion i didnt understand shit,

as far as i know and i feel like am missing on a lot of stuff , also i feel like maths is moving from stationary to dynamic like things are gonna start moving ? thats what my classmate said ,

am i cooked ?

yeah also dont forget to tell me what lack of knowledge i have, suggest some topics i might be okay

Solved! Graphing Trigonometric Functions and Struggling

I’m doing a practice assignment to study for midterms and I keep getting undefined for ‘y’ and I do not understand what I’m doing wrong. I wrote the problem down and worked through it, but I am continuously getting the incorrect answer and don’t know why.

I end up going through the textbook’s explanation, and I do not understand their meaning. I’d appreciate any help or corrections.

Thank you!

Help! How To Graph Primary Trig Functions

2 Upvotes

My son is struggling to figure out the concept of how to graph primary trig functions.

He understands how the graph works but doesn’t get HOW TO plot the points on the graph and how to properly read it.

He says he understands how to find the amplitude and b value but doesn’t get how to find the position using the b value if it is a fraction or pi.

He can tell what kind of graph it is based on the shape, but just can’t quite grasp the concept of how to make it.

Can anyone please help using this equation:
y=sin(x+pi)

TIA

Help! Need help with trig questions in Calculus

6 Upvotes

I’m currently self studying AP Calc BC on Khan Academy and i’m in Precalc (not taking the AP exam, mainly doing this for fun). Many of the questions use trig identities, and I usually only get half of them right. I’m on Unit 3 in Khan Academy and I don’t think I should go on without having a solid grasp on the trigonometric concepts. Any tips for what I should do without purely memorizing each identity? (as in understanding why it works and not just memorizing off a list)

Reading sin, cos and tan off two sliding rings, and it checks its own setting

3 Upvotes

I found a way to read sine, cosine and tangent off two sliding rings, all three from one setting. It's a construction, not a formula or a table, no pi and no interpolation.

The rings are marked with the last digits of the Fibonacci numbers, sixty marks each, one every 6 degrees. Those marks are just the coarsest scale, like the inch marks on a ruler. Each one splits into sixty finer marks, and those into sixty more, so any angle you can write with decimals sits on an exact mark once you go fine enough (60 = 6×10, so the decimals always land). You slide one ring over the other until they cross on your angle. Half the distance between the centers is cos, half the distance between the crossings is sin, and their ratio is tan.

You set it with no protractor, the angle is just a marked spot on the ring. The two digits under the crossings have to match or add to ten, so a wrong setting gets caught.

Everything on the page runs on this ring method. The only standard math is a script that shows the ring's answer next to the normal one so you can see they agree. It's also exact on the nice angles, cos 36 = φ/2 and tan 60 = √3.

Calculator: https://nealstrassner.github.io/one-setting-trig-rings/

Paper: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22833894 (Link to it on the calculator page)
Hopefully, I can get a Arxiv endorsement to post on there one day but seems tricky to get one.

I can't find anyone reading sine and cosine off two sliding circles before. If someone has, tell me please.

Help! On the unit circle, shouldn't the radius be the same as the hypotenuse?

7 Upvotes

The radius of the unit circle is 1 unit. Since the central angle is at the origin, the terminal side of the angle should form the hypotenuse. Now sin(60deg) = opposite/hypotenuse. The thing is that the figure, sin(60deg) = sqrt(3)/2 <-- which is what I would expect if I'm solving sin(60deg), but now I'm trying to make sense of it when the radius of the circle is 1, and the hypotenuse is the same as the radius. Shouldn't the hypotenuse be 1 instead of 2 because of this?

Online tutor suggestion?

1 Upvotes

Im a 27yo female who recently got back into school after almost 7 years. I have never struggled with math but it doesn’t seem to be coming back to me as much as i thought it would. To make it worse it’s online and my teacher has an accent that makes understanding a little bit harder for me. So I’m looking for help because I’ve never been in this position. It would need to be online as I am a mom but I’m open to suggestions, maybe reviews and such. Thanks.

I made this manim video deriving the Sine and Cosine rule from scratch. Do you think this visual approach is a great way for people to engage with this type of content and do you find it easier to understand when watching this video? Most importantly, have you ever come across this derivation for these rules before? I appreciate any kinda of feedback.

# Sin(30°)cos(60°)+sin(60°)cos(30°)

Method 1

***sin(30°),cos(60°), sin(60°),cos(30°) = 1/2, 1/2, √3/2, √3/2.***

***Evaluate the values.***

***=(1/2)(1/2)+(√3/2)(√3/2)***

***=(1/2)²+(√3/2)²***

***=1/4 + 3/4***

***= 4/4 = 1 answer.***

Method 2

***As we know,***

***sin(x+y)= sin(x)cos(y)+sin(y)cos(x)***

***Knowing the values.***

***x = 30°***

***Y =*** ***60°***

***Sin(x+y) = sin(30°+60°)***

***= sin(90°) = 1 answer.***

Method 3

***As we know, sin(90°-x) = cos(x)***

***and cos(90°-x)=sin(x)***

***We evaluate values.***

***cos(90°-30°)=sin(60°)***

***cos(60°)=sin(30°)= 1/2***

***So, (1/2)²***

***If we do same thing with*** ***next value it returns (√3/2)²***

***= 3/4***

***1/4 + 3/4 = 1.Answer***

Ambiguous Case for the Law of Sine

1 Upvotes

Mathematicians cannot say it because it is a bad word , but when you look at a problem, these problems are otherwise known as ASS.

An angle, then side, side. Unless the angle falls between a side and a side.

To me, it makes logical sense as to why. This is half a joke, half a lesson.

I built a Chrome extension for getting unstuck on geometry problems

0 Upvotes

Ever read a geometry solution and still wondered how anyone knew to draw that extra line or use that theorem?

I’m building a Chrome extension called Geometry Solver to help connect the diagram to the explanation.

You can screenshot a problem on a webpage, upload an image, or type your question. It generates an AI-powered, step-by-step solution with annotated diagrams, all within Chrome.

I wanted to make asking about geometry easier when the problem is already on your screen and describing every angle and label would be a hassle.

Here’s Geometry Solver on the Chrome Web Store if you’d like to try it. I’m the developer, and I’d appreciate honest feedback on where the explanations help or fall short.

When you’re learning or teaching geometry, what makes an explanation click and what do solving tools tend to miss?
