We focus on the topic of Trigonometric graphs in today's countdown blog. You will be expected to recall the shapes of the three trigonometric functions and be able to highlight the key points (x-axis intercepts, Maximum and minimum turning points.). Note that the x-axis is measured in degrees and that the trigonometric graphs are periodical (they repeat every 360 degrees). You should then be able to read off the graphs to give the angles for specific sin/cos/tan values (notice the symmetry and that there will be more than one angle).

Today's blog looks at the topic of Using graphs to find solutions. You will normally come across this topic when you need to solve simultaneous equations graphically. With this topic it will be important to construct the graphs accurately to get the correct information (if they are already done for you, no problems!) You should be looking for the point of intersection as this will the point where x and y have the same value for each equation.
