Final Posting

It's hard to believe that it was seven years ago today that I first posted on The Winchell Factor.  While other tech initiatives have come and gone, most of my students have preferred to continue using The Winchell Factor over any of these.  Sometimes, simpler is better.

With that said, nothing lives forever.  With technology, there will always come along something that offers a better user experience and I think Google Classroom has the potential to be such a thing.  It will allow me to share assignments, solutions, and classroom news faster and more efficiently.

Due to the switch to Google Classroom, this will be the final *sob* posting on The Winchell Factor.  It's been quite a ride.  Here are my stats:

• 919 total posts (I guess this will be #920)
• 32,702 page views in seven years
• Though most views came from my students, I had views from Russia (485), Germany (476), France (328), Latvia (212), Ukraine (166), Poland (118), UK (66), Canada (64), and India (51).  So, Spasibo, danke, merci, paldies, dziękuję, thank you, and धन्यवाद्

 Most of my students have enjoyed this site and I hope that their Classroom experience will be even more helpful to their education.

...The Winchell Factor signing off.  Good-bye

Worksheet titled Trig Graph Worksheet is here.  Equations for #1-6 are at the end of the document.  Graphs can be found using Desmos.

Worksheet titled Vertical Shifts and Phase Shifts is here.  Answers are here.

Here's some help
1.  Identities - There are many ways of doing many of these.  You might find these helpful

• Verifying Trig Identities - Part 1;   Part 2 
• Another Verifying Trig Identities - Here

2.  Trig Graphs - Different teachers mean different procedures.  Still, these may help.

• Transformations of Trig Graphs: Amplitude, Period, and Phase Shift
• Writing an equation of a sin/cos function when given the graph

Precalculus

1.  Quiz on Trig Identities - here is the full packet of identities (with 1 possible solution).
2.  Use the trig table to plot the sine function.  Use the radian angle measure at the x-coordinate and the sine value as the y-coordinate.  Here is the start of it.  Notice I found a decimal approximation for the sine values and plotted them.  Once you are finished plotting the points, connect them with a smooth continuous curve.
