Description
This text starts with a right triangle approach to help students investigate and understand the trigonometric functions, their graphs, their relationships to one another, and ways in which they can be used in a variety of applications. Thoroughly revised throughout, the third edition builds on the strengths of previous editions while offering a new examples, problems, and real-world applications to make it more applied and visual.
