Algebra at CSUMB with trig identities- sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent
We mostly did problems with trig identities. SOHCAHTOA CHOSHACAO Reduced a few radicals to a simpler form. Talked about how the 30 60 90 triangle and 45 45 90 triangles have ratios that you should …
Algebra at CSUMB with logarithms
We mostly looked at problems with logarithms. Used both the properties for the log of a product and the log of a quotient. Saw how the base, exponent, and result are placed in the …
