2 mins *Anticipatory Set
Check in with how students are at the beginning of class.
Review the plan for the day:
● Notes
● Homework
● Nearpod - Quiz tomorrow
*State the Objectives (grade-level terms)
Students will:
● evaluate composite trigonometric functions
45 *Instructional Input, Modeling, or Procedures
mins Composite Functions:
2
Review how to find inverses algebracally: f(x) = 𝑥, f–1(x) = 𝑥
Define what composite means: Function made of other functions where the output of one is the
input of the other
2
Provide an example with two algebraic functions: f(x) = 𝑥 , g(x) = 2x + 3
2 2
Take the composite them: f(g(x)) = (2𝑥 + 3) ; g(f(x)) = 2𝑥 + 3
Do it with inverses now. Use functions from before.
Take the composite of the function and it’s inverse: f(f--1(x)) = x; f-1(f(x)) = x
NOTE: The inverse of a function undones that functions
Talk about how that might be true when we cover trigonometric inverses and composition
Make a list of the different ways to write trigonometric inverses

Composite - Trig. Inverses

Examples from Homework sheet from Monday: “What did the wealthy Tan Gent say to his sick
aunt when she asked him to Co-sign a loan for a questionable business investment?”
4π 7π
#21 - cos-1(cos(π)), #23 - sin-1(sin( 3 )), #25 - tan-1(tan( 4 ))
Work inside then the outside.
#21 - the final output will be π
#23 & #25 - the final outputs will be in terms of the moon range learned the past couple of days

Homework for Today:

1 5 8
#17 - sin[cos-1(- 2 )], Ex. - tan(cos-1( 13 )), #28 - cos(sin-1( 17 ))
#17 solve normally; have a critical value at -½
Ex. & #28 - Need to create a right angled triangle with the measurements given with the angle
and find the triple associated to those numbers. You can denote the inside of the composite
function as θ and solve like normal.
*Check for Understanding
Asking questions constantly to see if students understand the material; asking them to help me
solve some of the equations, using knowledge they should know from previous units, reference
and using the pythagorean identities.
*Guided Practice
Included in Instructional Input
40 *Independent Practice
