1. Radian and degree measures of angles.

Their relationship:
𝜋
angle in radians = angle in degrees ×
180∘
2. Remember common angle measures such as

Degrees 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 360°


Radians 0 π/6 π/4 π/3 π/2 π 2π

3. Arc length formula 𝐿 = 𝑟 ∙ 𝜃 where 𝑟 is the radius of a circle, 𝜃 is a radian


measure of the angle subtended by this arc.
4. Definitions of sin 𝜃, cos 𝜃, tan 𝜃, cot 𝜃 , sec 𝜃, csc 𝜃 for an acute angle 𝜃, i.e
𝜋
0 < 𝜃 < , in terms of sides of a right triangle with angle 𝜃.

5. Definitions of sin 𝜃 and cos 𝜃 in terms of coordinates of a point on a unit circle
for a general angle 𝜃.
6. Commonly used trigonometric identities: Pythagorean identities, double-angle
formulas, co-function identities, and so on.
7. Basic properties of trigonometric functions such as domain, range, periodicity,
symmetry (being even/odd)
8. The notion of a one-to-one function defined on a domain 𝐷.
9. The notion of the inverse function 𝑓 −1 for a given one-to-one function 𝑓. The
domain and the range of 𝑓 −1 in terms of the domain and the range of 𝑓. The
relationship between the graph of 𝑓 and the graph of its inverse 𝑓 −1 .
10. Inverses of sin 𝑥 , cos 𝑥, tan 𝑥 restricted to the special intervals. Their graphs,
domains and the ranges.
