5.3 Solving Trigonometric Equations
Objective:
In this lesson you will be learning how to solve trigonometric equations
To solve a trigonometric equation, your goal is to isolate the trigonometric function involved in the equation, then find all values of the variable for which the equation is true.
Turn in your Worksheet on Simplifying Trig Expressions if you haven’t yet.
