26. Converting between logarithmic form and exponential form
27. Using the laws of logarithms to expand a single logarithm
28. Using the laws of logarithms to express the sum or difference of multiple logarithms as one single logarithm

Average score:
The most points you can receive is 5. I will take the average score of all 4 categories and add that to a previous exam score.
An example of a good lesson plan (this would receive a score of 5 in all areas) is given on the next page:
Prior Knowledge:
• Combining like terms
• Pythagorean Theorem
Objectives: After the lesson, students will be able to:
• Find the sine, cosine, and tangent ratio’s of an angle in a right triangle
• Use sine, cosine, and tangent to find the missing side when an angle and a side is given
Aim: How can we find the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios of a right triangle and apply them to find missing sides?
Do Now: Solve for x
Development:
In a right triangle, we label the sides and vertices as follows:
At C, we have a right angle (90 degrees)
What is c called? The hypotenuse
From point A, what side is opposite of A? a
What about B, what side is opposite of B? b
Now, what about adjacent? Adjacent means next to.
What is adjacent to A? b and c
Now, while side c is next to a, in math we never say that the hypotenuse is adjacent to a leg, so only side b is adjacent to A.
We can say then for angle A: opposite = a, adjacent = b
For angle B: opposite = b, adjacent = a,
Since angle C is a right angle, we do not say anything is opposite or adjacent to it.
Now, how what ratio’s can we make using the three sides of the triangle? (a, b, and c)
We have: [pic]
For some ratio’s, we have special names: sine, cosine, and tangent
Definition:
[pic] !
mnemonic: SOH-CAH-TOA This holds for B and C also
Example: Find sinA, cosA, and tanA
We always measure trigonometric ratio’s with angles.
We can use the calculator to find certain trig ratio’s
Example – Find sin(50)
With these two tools, we can now tackle some problems
Example
Solve for x:
What do we know from the diagram? Angle, one side
What side do we know? Hypotenuse
Where is our given angle? At A
With reference to A, how is x related to A?
x is adjacent to A
So we know angle A and the hypotenuse of the triangle and we want to find the side that is adjacent to A.
What relationship do we know between hypotenuse and an adjacent side? Cosine
So we have: [pic]
Example – Solve for x
Practice: 646/1-4, 15-18
[pic]
Solutions
1. [pic]
2. [pic]
3. [pic]
4. [pic]
5. [pic]
6. [pic]
Follow up question: do you notice a relationship between the trigonometric ratio’s of S and R? some of them are equal to each other. For example: [pic]
Summary:
-How is this similar to Pythagorean theorem? T
- When looking for a missing side, when would we use trig ratio’s?
- What does the mnemonic SOH-CAH-TOA mean?
