B.O.B My Muddiest Point

My muddiest point was solving equations with secant, cosecant and cotangent. I could solve the equations once I got it converted back to tangent, sine or cosine but I was really struggling with getting it there. To fix the problem, I went back and studied my notes. One night while I was looking over things it just clicked. It made so much more sense. Part of my problem to begin with was with the unit circle. I kept mixing up the coordinates for the sixty degree angles. After review of the unit circle and practicing filling out blank ones, I had solved the problem and was able to move forward with solving the secant, cosecant and cotangent  equations. Also, with solidifying the last few points on the unit circle, it was even easier to solve sine, cosine and tangent equations.

  1. Sometimes looking back over notes helps, but definitely ask for help when you need it too!
