First Unit in Precalc-Trig - Jacob Evenson

I didn't really have a tough time with the first unit.  However, I did enjoy re-learning the Unit Circle, because I had completely forgotten what it was, how to use it, etc.  Perhaps the most difficult thing for me was remembering that co-secant was the inverse of sine, not cosine.  The same was true with secant, where I kept thinking it was the inverse of sine instead of cosine.  Eventually I started remembering it, then everything became incredibly simple.  The only thing I'm not sure on is the clock problem, because I got that wrong on the test.  (Still need to ask Jackson about that, marking it on my to-do list now...)

  1. The reciprocal functions are challenging to solve and even remember what they are reciprocals of. Please come see me about the clock problem because you never know if one of those will show up on the next test!
