School trigonometry: proofs, inverse branches and periodic decisions
Four lessons close specific school-level reasoning gaps through unit-circle constructions, derived angle formulas, justified inverse domains and calculator-based contextual threshold intervals. Exact checks and human-reviewed reasoning are distinct. This focused extension reuses the existing trigonometry foundations; it does not establish complete school, AP or college-course readiness.
Open any lesson. Completion records participation; automatic practice checks and human judgment of written arguments are separate. This unit retains its own versioned requirements.
Readiness and preparation
Check your starting point
Try these short questions on paper, then compare your reasoning. They are optional self-checks, not a placement score or a navigation requirement. Use a targeted review when useful and return with your browser’s Back control.
What are the coordinates at angle θ on the unit circle?
Symmetry arguments connect coordinates and trigonometric identities.
Compare reasoning and find a refresher
The point is (cos θ,sin θ), with θ measured from the positive horizontal axis; a full turn is 2π radians.
