LEARN · EXPLAIN · REVISE

Solve both parts and justify the conditions used. Part A: Evaluate without a calculator. Part B: How many coterminal representatives of 30° lie in this closed interval?

Read the idea, work independently, then explain what changed.

TOPIC 01

Trigonometric functions: mixed assessment

A mixed assessment: identify the method, justify it and revise your reasoning.

What you will be able to explain

  • Connect the chapter skills without relying on the order of the exercises.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

Solve both parts and justify the conditions used. Part A: Evaluate without a calculator. Part B: How many coterminal representatives of 30° lie in this closed interval?

A: sin⁡(π)+sin⁡(0)B: [−3240∘,3240∘]\begin{gathered}\text{A: }\sin(\pi)+\sin(0)\\\text{B: }[-3240^{\circ},3240^{\circ}]\end{gathered}

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
A: Use unit-circle symmetry and periodicity; determine the sign before simplifying.
Hint 2
B: Keep degrees and radians distinct and use the definition of angular measure.
Worked solution
  1. Part A reasoning

  2. Use unit-circle symmetry and periodicity; determine the sign before simplifying.

  3. Calculate or simplify this relation.

    sin⁡(π)+sin⁡(0)=0\sin(\pi)+\sin(0)=0
  4. The sine coordinate is zero at integer multiples of π.

  5. Part B reasoning

  6. Keep degrees and radians distinct and use the definition of angular measure.

  7. Calculate or simplify this relation.

    −3240≤30+360n≤3240⇒−9≤n≤8-3240\le30+360n\le3240\Rightarrow -9\le n\le8
  8. Integer n must satisfy both bounds.

A: The requested value is 0. B: The requested value is 18.

Checks and common pitfalls: The sine coordinate is zero at integer multiples of π. Integer n must satisfy both bounds.

Reasoning checklist · self / teacher assessment
  • Solve part A with its stated restrictions.
  • Solve part B using an appropriate representation.
  • Give the reasoning and check conditions in both parts.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Focus on one question

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Ask students to name the relevant condition before calculating.

Board plan

  • Compare valid methods and annotate their conditions.

Anticipated thinking

  • A correct final value may still hide a missing assumption.

Assessment checklist

  • Check the method, conditions, reasoning and interpretation separately.
