Lecture 9
Find Theta Known Value
Play Video
Find Theta Known Value
Find values of the angle in the argument of a trigonometric expression using right triangle trigonometry and the unit circle.
Lecture 10
Evaluate the Sin
Play Video
Evaluate the Sin
In trigonometry we have to evaluate functions exactly. This video addresses the process.
Lecture 11
Similar Triangles
Play Video
Similar Triangles
Corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent. This video gives a numeric and algebraic examples of solving similar triangles using the property of proportional sides. 
Lecture 12
Graphing Sin(x) and Cos(x)
Play Video
Graphing Sin(x) and Cos(x)
This is a very compact video with explanation of the general from for the sin and cos functions, followed by 4 examples of using phase shift, vertical shift, amplitude and period to graph the functions.
Lecture 13
Even and Odd Functions
Play Video
Even and Odd Functions
The video addresses the symmetry of even and odd functions and how to test algebraically whether or not a function is even or odd.
