who doesnt love the trig chart? idk but i better get credit because even tho it looks like i did nothing, this was the hardest blog yet considering how tired i am!
goodnight bloggers
you'd think after all this time i'd remember to blog before 10:00 sunday night...you'd be wrong.
In order to multiply matrices, the dimensions have to be precise. You must have the same number of columns in the first matrix as rows in the second matrix. If you do not have such dimensions, YOU CANNOT MULTIPLY. If you do not have proper dimensions, the answer is not defined. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH UNDEFINED. Undefined means you have divided by zero. NOT DEFINED means no solution.
-Helpful hint, after multiplying, your answer matrix will have the same number of rows as the first matrix and columns of the second matrix.
Example:
[3 4] [2 3 1] [22 33 23]
[6 7] X [4 6 5] = [40 60 41]
[9 1] [22 33 14]
Since the dimensions of the first matrix are 3x2 and the dimensions of the second matrix are 2x3, your answer matrix will be a 3x3.
First, multiply row one by column one. (I’m going to fill answers into the matrix as I go)
3(2)+4(4)=22
First row second column, then first row third column.
3(3)+4(6)=33 3(1)+4(5)=23
Continue the same process with rows two and three.
That is all.

Review of De Moivre's Theorem!
**DO NOT DRAW ARGAND DIAGRAMS**
De Moivre's theorem states the 2=rcisø then z^n=r^n cis(nø)
So now for the emphasis example!
Evaluate (2sin45)^2
z^2=2^2cis2(45)
z^2=4cis90
Since I don't think I hit a 150 words yet, I'll do a problem like this but working backwards.
z=4cis20º (Use De Moivre's theorem to find z^3)
z^3=(4)^3cis(3(20))
z^3=64cis60
So basically if you know and learn De Moivre's theorem, you can work any of these problems.
Hope you learned something!
Carleyyyy :) have a greatttt week!!

- z = x + yi
- z = rcostheta + rsintheta i
- z = rcistheta
- |z |= square root of x^2 + y^2
- To multiply complex numbers:
- Foil for rectangular problems.
- Multiply r and add theta for polar problems.
Example 2: 10 cis 20 degrees
- What form is it in? Polar form.
- Solve for x and y.
- x = 10cos20= 9.367
- y=10sin20= 3.420
- Final answer: 9.367 + 3.420

Notes:
• An arithmetic sequence is a sequence that is generated by adding the same number each time.
• The formula for an arithmetic sequence is as follows: tn = t1 + (n – 1) d
• A geometric sequence is a sequence that is generated by multiplying the same number each time.
• The formula for a geometric sequence is as follows: tn = t1 * r^(n – 1)
• n = number of terms
• tn = term number
• t1 = term 1
• d = what is added
• r = what is multiplied
Example: Identify the following as an arithmetic or geometric, and find the formula for the nth term: 3, 6, 9, 12, ……
• this is an arithmetic sequence
• tn = 3 + (n-1) 3
• tn = 3 + 3n-3
• tn = 3n

1) (degree)top=(degree)bottom then limit = lead coeff / leading coeff.
2) (degree)top > (degree)bottom then limit = +/- (infinity)
3) (degree)top < (degree)bottom then limit = 0
* if it doesn't follow rules then yoy plug into y= in calculator, 2nd table, plug in 10|100|1000|10000
until you see a pattern*
4) E +ve # = + or - inf
E -ve # = 0
*if it is geometric & |R| < 1 then limit = 0. if |R| > 1 the limit = (infinity)
EX's:
1) lim/ n (infinity) n^3 + 2n^2 + 6 / n^2 - 4n^3
so (degree)top = (degree)bottom = -1/4
2) lim/ n (infinity) n^3 + 2n^2 + 6 / n^2
so (degree)top > (degree)bottom = +(infinity)
3) lim/ n (infinity) 5n - 5 / n^2
so (degree)top < (degree)bottom = 0

Review of 11-2
-
z=x+yi
-
z=rcos theta + rsin theta i
-
z=rcis theta
-
|z|=square root of x^2 + y^2
- With rectangular problems remember to always foil.
- With polar problems you will multiply r and add theta.
Example: -1 + i
Example 2: 6 cis 100 degrees
- x=6 cos 100= -1.042
- y=6 sin 100= 5.909
- Your answer is going to be -1.042 + 5.909
so, that's it for this week. Hope I helped you remember how to work these problems. byee.

Ch. 13 Review
This week I'm going to do a review on 13-1 where we learned about arithmetic and geometric sequences. We learned how to identify a sequence as arithmetic or geometric, how to find the nth term in a sequence, and how many terms are in a sequence. We also learned how to find the mean for both types of sequences.
-arithmetic sequence: sequence that is generated by adding the same number each time
formula: tn = t1 + (n-1)d
-geometric sequence: sequence that is generated by multiplying the same number each time
formula: tn = t1 x r^(n-1)
-arithmetic mean: a + b/2
-geometric mean: square root of ab
Example 1: Identify the following as arithmetic or geometric and find the formula for the nth term.
4,8,16,32,...
-geometric
-tn = t1 x r^(n-1)
4 x 2^(n-1)
4 x 2^n x 2^-1
4 x 2^n/2
= 2 x 2^n
Example 2: Find the indicated term of the arithmetic sequence.
t1 = 3, t4 = 12, t30 = ?
- 3 + d + d + d = 12
3 + 3d = 12
3d = 9
d = 3
-t30 = 3 + (30 - 1) (3)
= 90

Trig Reviewwww
Today we are going to do some review from the trigonometry section. If you do remember Trig, you are good to go and can probably work my examples right now. But incase you don’t remember everything; all you need to know right now in trig is basically formulas as well as the trig chart. For starters, you must remember:
· Sin=1/csc
· Cos=1/sec
· Csc=1/sin
· Sec=1/cos
· Tan=1/cot
· Cot=1/tan
· Tan=sin/cos
Apart from knowing that, you must also know the Pythagorean Identities. To refresh your memories, these are the Identities you will need to use when doing a lot of trigonometry.
· Sin^2+cos^2=1
· 1+tan^2=sec^2
· 1+cot^2=csc^2
Now that we’ve went over some of the basic things needed to work the examples I am about to show you, we can begin J
Example 1: Simplify:
(Sinx^2+Cosx^2)/ Sinx
1. Look for identities. You have one, so simplify it.
2. You now get 1/Sinx. You can simplify this by referring to the notes above.
3. You get Cscx as your final answer J

degrees to radians
You are going to multiply 60 by pi/180.
All you really have to do is simplify 60/180 then add pi in.
You’re answer should therefore be 1pi/3, which is simply pi/3
Now for radians to degrees.
Convert 5pi/4 to degrees.
To convert radians to degrees the process is almost exactly the same
You multiply 5pi/4 times 180/pi.
The pi cancels leaving you with 5/4 times 180.
5 X 180= 900/4=225 degrees.
If you do not get a whole number, you need to convert to degrees minutes and seconds.
To convert to degrees minutes and seconds you multiply the number behind the decimal by 60. This number becomes minutes. If there is another set of numbers behind the decimal, multiply by 60 again. If you still don’t have a whole number after multiplying by sixty twice, you drop the number behind the decimal and the number in front of the decimal becomes seconds.
YOU WILL GET POINTS OFF IF YOU DO NOT CONVERT.
Good luck to everyone on the tests this week
--Sarah
7-1
1) Breaking a problem into degrees, minutes, and seconds
If one is converting degrees to minutes, all of the numbers that are behind the decimal have to multiplied by 60
-If one is converting degrees to seconds, all of the numbers that are behind the decimal have to multiplied by 60.
-If one is to convert minutes and seconds back to degrees, then use the following equation:
b) .8 X 60 = 48"
answer = 76 degrees 25' 48"

8-4 Review
8-4 is on the relationship among functions. This should be pretty easy. But before I can start with examples, i am going to give you a few notes that you need to know.
- The first thing you do is to do all the possible algebra to the problem.
- Once you do everything possible, you would first try to use your pythagorean identities.
- After that you would move everything to sin and cos.
- The next thing you would do is do algebra again.
- Once you do all of that you keep repeating steps 1 through 3 until your problem is completely simplified.
- cscx=1/sinx
- tanx=sinx/cosx
- cotx=cosx/sinx
- secx=1/cosx
- sin^2x+cos^2x=1
- 1+tan^2x=sec^2x
- 1+cot^2x=csc^2x
Example: cos^2x+sin^2x
- No algebra can be done.
- So then you look for identies you can use, which this problem is one which means it will equal to 1.
- So you answer is going to be 1.

Chapter 9 Review
Notes:
• SOHCATOA: sin (theta) = opp. / hyp. cos (theta) = adj. / hyp. tan (theta) = opp./adj.
• To find the area of a right triangle, use the formula A=½ bh
• To find the area of a non right triangle, use the formula A= ½ (adj.) (adj.) sin(angle b/w)
• Law of Sines: (sin A / a) = (sin B / b) = (sin C / c)
• Law of Cosines: opp. leg^2 = (adj. leg^2) + (other adj. leg^2) – 2(adj. leg) (other adj. leg) cos (angle b/w)
Example: Find the area of non right triangle ABC when: AB=4, BC=6, and B=60 degrees
• ½ (4) (6) sin (60 degrees)
• 12 sin (60 degrees)
• A=10.392 u^2

EX:
express each complex number in polar form
1) -1 + i
you do same steps to convert from rectangular to polar.
(the square root of) (-1) ^2 + (1)^2 = (the square root of) 2
(theta) = tan (inverse) 1/-1
the quadrants that they are negative is 2nd and 4th
(theta) = tan (inverse) 45
convert to second and fourth quadrant
-45 +180= 135
-45 +360= 315
now you have to figure out which to use
(-1,1) is in second quadrant so you use 135
so your polar form is r cis (theta) = (the square root of) 2 cis 135 (degrees)
Review of Chapter 7
- K=1/2r^2 Ɵ
- K=1/2rs
- s=rƟ
Okay, so now I am going to give you a few examples.
- R(radius)=8cm
- Ɵ(central angle)=2
- K(area)=?
- S(arc length)=?
Therefore s=64/4 so s=16cm.And those are your two answers!

11-1
This week I'm going to do a review on 11-1 where we learned how to convert from polar to rectangular and from rectangular to polar. In this section, we also use polar points in which we don't use (x,y) but (r,theta) instead.
-To convert from polar to rectangular: x = r(cos)(theta) y = r(sin)(theta)
-To convert from rectangular to polar: r = square root of x^2 + y^2 theta = tan^-1(y/x)
Example 1: Give the polar coordinates for (5,0).
r = square root of 5^2 + 10^2
r = +/-5
theta = tan^-1(0/5)
theta = 0
final answer: (5,0) (-5,0)
Example 2: Give the rectangular coordinates for (3,30 degrees).
x = r(cos)(theta)
x = 3cos30
x = 3(sq. root of 3/2)
x = 3(sq. root of 3)/2
y = r(sin)(theta)
y = 3sin30
y = 3(1/2)
y = 3/2
final answer: (3(sq. root of 3)/2, 3/2)

How to add vectors: v + u = (a, b) + (c, d) = (a + c, b + d)
example: Find the equation for the vector from points A(3,4) and B(5,6)
P2-p1
(5-3, 6-4)
(2,2)
(x,y)= (3,4) + t(2,2)
yay for blogs
Time for some notes:
• To add vectors: v + u = (a, b) + (c, d) = (a + c, b + d)
• To subtract vectors: v - u = (a, b) – (c, d) = (a - c, b – d)
• Scalar multiplication: kv = k * (a, b) = (ka, kb)
• To find a vector equation from two points, you do P2 - P1
• Vector equation: (x, y) = (x0, y0) + t (a, b)
• Parametric equations: x = x0 + at and y = y0 + bt
• To find the magnitude of a vector, you do |v| = sq. root of (x^2 + y^2)
• Component form is (r cos theta, r sin theta)
Example:
Simplify the following: U+V when U= <3,7> and V= <8,9>
Add the corresponding numbers U+V= <3+8,7+9>
Therefore, in the end, your answer is U+V= <11, 16>

In this section on vectors, we learned how to do vector addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication. Also, we learned how to find a vector from two points, write a vector equation, and write a parametric equation. We also covered how to find the absolute value of a vector and write an equation in component form.
- vector: slope
- vector addition: v+u = <a,b> + <c,d> = <a+c, b+d>
- vector subtraction: v-u = <a,b> - <c,d> = <a-c, b-d>
- scalar multiplication: kv = k<a,b> = <ka,kb>
- to find a vector from two points: P2 - P1
- vector equation: (x,y) = (xo, yo) + t<a+b> <---* (xo,yo) is the point, and (a,b) is the vector
- parametric equation: x = xo + at & y = yo + bt
- IvI = sq. root of x^2 + y^2 => magnitude of a vector
- component form: <rcos(theta),rsin(theta)>
Example 1: Given A(1,-2) and B(3,-2) find the a) component form b) absolute value of vector AB
a) P2 - P1
= (3-1,-2-1)

We will be reviewing how to convert degrees into minutes and seconds, convert radians to degrees, and degrees to radians.
êThe first thing we’re going to learn is how to convert degrees into minutes and seconds.
- The first thing you are going to do is take what is behind the decimal and multiply it by 60.
- Next, to convert to seconds, you take what is behind the decimal in the minutes and multiply that by 60.
êêThe second thing we’re going to be learning is how to convert a degree into a radian.
- Use the formula degree x π/180.
êêêThe third and final thing we are going to be learning today is how to convert radians into degrees.
- Use the formula Rads x 180/π=degree.
Now, I am going to show you an example of each.
êExample 1: Convert 16.73º to minutes(‘) and seconds(“)
- .73 x 60 = 43.8
- .8 x 60 = 48
You’re answer would be 16º43’48”
êêExample 2: Convert 24º into Radians.
- 24/180= 2/15 = 2π/15
êêêExample 3: Convert π/2 into degrees.
- π/2 x 180/π =90º
You're answer would be 90º

- Cos2a = (cos^2a) - (sin^2a)
- Cos2a = 1 - 2sin^2a
- Cos2a = 2cos^2a - 1
- Tan2a = (2tana)/(1 - tan^2a)
- Sina/2 = +/- square root of ((1 - cosa)/2)
- Cosa/2 = +/- square root of ((1 + cosa)/2)
- Tana/2 = +/- square root of ((1 - cosa)/(1 + cosa))
- Tana/2 = +/- (sina/(1 + cosa))
- Tana/2 = +/- ((1 - cosa)/sina)
Example 1: Simplify square root of 1 - cos135/2
- First step is to find out what formula is being used.
- Formula that is being used: Sina/2 = +/- square root of ((1 - cosa)/2).
- Now you use Sina/2 as your formula.
- Plug in 135 into the formula Sina/2.
- Sina/2 = Sin135/2 = Sin67.5
- Final answer: Sin67.5 degrees
Example 2 : Simplify 2sin67.5 degrees(cos67.5 degrees)
- Sin2(67.5 degrees)
- Sin45 degrees
- Final answer: square root of 2/2

Review of 7-4
Steps:
1. First of all you have to find the quadrant that the angle is in and sketch it.
2. Then you must use the unit circle to determine whether the angle is positive or negative.
3. Finally, you have to subtract either 360 degrees or 180 degrees until the absolute value of theta is between 0 and 90 degrees.
4. If the problem asks for the exact value, then you would use the trig chart, the unit circle, or a calculator to find it.
Example: Find the exact value of sin 210 degrees
• Sin 210 degrees is in quadrant 3
• Sin is negative in quadrant 3
• 210-180=30
• -sin 30 degrees = ½

x=9cos30 y=9sin30
You should get
(9 square root of 3/2,9/2)
Now, let's go over rectangular to polar.
Convert (3,3)
Use this equation:
x=square root of (3^2+3^2)=square root of 18 or +/-3square root of 2
theta=tan inverse (3/3) This equals one which is on your trig chart as 45 degrees. You'd then draw your coordinate plane and find that the other positive angle is 225 degrees. You should have two answers that are set up like this.
(3 square root of 2, 45 degrees)
(-3 square root of 2, 225 degrees)
That my friends is all there is to it. Easy right? Everyone get ready for a trig exam!

Finding all six trig functions
2nd spring break blog
EX: in triangle ABC, angle A = 90 angle B = 25 and a= 18. find b and c
from this information you know angle C = 65 so now you can work the problem
first thing to do is solve for b or c first so lets go with b

Review of 10-3
Formulas:
- sin 2a= (2 sin a) (cos a)
- cos 2a= (cos^2 a) – (sin^2 a)
- cos 2a= 1- 2 sin^2 a
- cos 2a= 2 cos^2 a -1
- tan 2a= ( 2 tan a) / ( 1- tan^2 a)
- sin a/2= +/- sq. root of ((1 – cos a) / (2))
- cos a/2= +/- sq. root of (( 1+ cos a) / (2))
- tan a/2= +/- sq. root of (( 1- cos a) / ( 1+cos a))
- tan a/2= +/- (( sin a) / ( 1+ cos a))
- tan a/2= +/- (( 1- cos a) / (sin a))
Those are the formulas you are going to need to know for this section. So now that you know the formulas, I am going to work a few examples for you to better understand these problems.
Example: Simplify cos^2 15 degrees - sin^2 15 degrees
- cos 2(15 degrees)
- cos 30 degrees
- square root of 3 / 2 is your answer.
So that is how you work these types of problems. Hoped this helped you to remember! Byeee.

1st spring break blog
1) sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1
2) 1 + tan^2 x = sec^2x
3) 1 + cot^2 x = csc^2 x
there are also 4 steps which are to be followed loosely:
1) Algebrea
2) Use pythagorean identites and switch everything to sin and cos
3) Algebra
4) Repeat
EX:
simpilify sin^2 x + cos^2 x / cot x sin x
algebra cant be done
the numerator is an identity so it becomes 1/ cot x sin x
now you switch to sin and cos and it becomes 1 / (cos/sin)(sin)
your sines cancel and its 1 / cos = sec x

review of chapter 7
The first formula is as follows:
K=1/2r^2 Ɵ
In this equation, k is the area of a sector, r is the radius, and Ɵ is the central angle.
The second formula is follows:
K=1/2rs
In this equation, r is the radius, and arc is the length.
Another equation within this section is that for apparent size. That equation is as follows:
s=rƟ
In this formula, r=distance between two objects, Ɵ=apparent size, and S=diameter of an object.
EXAMPLE 1:
A sector of a circle has a radius 8 cm and central angle 2 radians. Find its arc length and area.
In this problem,
R(radius)=8cm
Ɵ(central angle)=2
K(area)=?
S(arc length)=?
To solve this problem, you would use the equation k=1/2r^2Ɵ.
Therefore, k=1/2(8)^2(2) so k=64cm^2.
You then plug into k=1/2rs. Since you’re solving for s, it becomes k/1/2r=s.
Therefore s=64/4 so s=16cm.
So, in the end the arc length (s) is 16cm and the area (k) is 64cm^2.

Trig Identities
sin^2x + cos^2x = 1
1 + tan^2x = sec^2x
1 + cot^2x = csc^2x
When simplifying these trig identities will be of vital use.
ex.)
1 - cos^2x/ 1 + cot^2x (Note: Both the numerator and the denomenator are part of a trig identiy. To simply themm basically (using the original trig identities) move parts of the equation around in order to get what is show in the problem to one side, then substitute what is already in the problem for what is on the other side of the equation.. I know no one probably understood what all that meant)
(For the numerator you would get this: sin^2x)
sin^2x/sec^2x (Keep simplifying... sec = 1/cos and you will have to use that)
sin^2x/1/cos2x (put sin^2x over one and sandwich)
Sin^2xcos^2x is your final answer...

A little more Trig Review!
I'm going to teach you to solve for ø. The steps are different than an algebra equation.
1. Isolate the trig function.
2. Take the inverse of the trig function (arc sin)sin–1 (arc cos)cos -1
3. Use the trig chart or calculator to find answer (only use positive value)
4. Use quadrants to find the right angle. Positive or negative with trig function.
There are at least two answers for each inverse.
To move quadrants:
- Q1àQ2 make negative add 180º
- Q1àQ3 Add 180º
- Q1àQ4 Make negative add 360º

Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences
Notes:
• An arithmetic sequence is formed by adding the same number each time. The formula for an arithmetic sequence is t (n) = t1 + (n – 1) d
• A geometric sequence is formed by multiplying the same number each time. The formula for a geometric sequence is t (n) = t1 * r^(n-1)
Example: Identify whether the sequence is arithmetic or geometric, then find the formula for the nth term in the sequence. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …….
• It would be an arithmetic sequence
• t(n) = t1 + (n-1) d
• t(n) = 2 + (n-1) 2
• t(n) = 2 + 2n – 2
• t(n) = 2n

Logarithms
Ex 1:put in exponential form
log base 2 8 = 3
you use the base which in this case is 2 and you raise that to what the whole thing equals, which is 3
2^3 = 8 : this is what your answer should look like.
Ex 2: expand
when expanding logs, you put everything terms of addition if multiplied and subtraction if divided and exponents go in front of the equation
3 log A + 3 log B
condense:
log 6 + log 5 - log 3
to condense you just do the expanding steps backwards.
log 6 * 5 / 3
log 30/3
log 10
since this is log 10 the base i also 10 which cancles everything

To convert from degrees to radians:
divide the degree by 180 and add pie behind the coefficient.
To convert from radians to degree:
multiply the number in radians by 180 and take out the pie.
Examples:
Degrees to Radians
60 degrees x pie/180= pie/3
pie/2 x 180/pie (pies cancel)= 90 degrees
yay for blogs i know its late but sorry

Trig functionsss.
1. Identify if there is a negative and which way it will start.
2. Find the Period.
3. Find the Amplitude
4. Write your five important points. (0, π/2, π, 3π/2, and 2π)
5. Divide every point by “B”
6. If anything is added or subtracted in parenthesis do the opposite for all 5 points
7. Sketch
8. Shift the graph up or down if anything is added or subtracted outside of parenthesis.
Now, we’re going to work and example:
Y=2 Sin 3x
1. There is no negative and it will start like this. (axis, up, axis, down, axis)
2. Use the formula 2π/B to find your Period. 2π/3
3. The Amplitude is the absolute value of the number before the function. Therefore, it is 3
4,5. 0x2=0
π/2x2=3π/2
πx2=π/3
3π/2x2=9π/2
2πx2=2π/3
6. Since there is nothing added or subtracted in parenthesis, you sketch the numbers we just found.
7. Sketch your points using the graph you found in step 1.
And that’s how you solve a trig function J
