Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Trigonometric Ratios and Standard Angles

  • Six trigonometric ratios: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot defined for right triangles
  • Standard angle values: 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° and their radian equivalents
  • Reciprocal relationships between ratios
2

Measurement of Angles - Degrees and Radians

  • Relationship between degrees and radians: π radians = 180°
  • Arc length formula: s = rθ (θ in radians)
  • Area of sector formula: A = (1/2)r²θ
3

Trigonometric Functions and Their Graphs

  • Domain and range of each trigonometric function
  • Periodic nature: sin and cos have period 2π, tan and cot have period π
  • Key features: amplitude, period, phase shift, vertical shift
4

Trigonometric Identities

  • Fundamental identities: Pythagorean, quotient, and reciprocal
  • Techniques for proving identities: start with more complex side, work with one side only
  • Common algebraic manipulations: factoring, combining fractions, rationalizing
