Document Summary
In math 1316, one learns how to work with trigonometric functions, identities, equations, and applications of all of these. Students who wish to take scientific calculus must learn the material in math 1316 and math 2412, precalculus, to prepare for. There is little or no review of algebra in the trigonometry course. The following problems provide a quick review of this algebra for students who have completed the prerequisite. Students who have had two years of high school algebra or the equivalent and are able to do only about 2/3 of these correctly may choose to take math 1314 (college. Problems: a ladder is leaning up against the side of a house. Suppose that you want to measure the height of a building.
