Lesson Plan

Isolate the trigonometric expression in an equation arising from a modeling context

Apply arcsin, arccos, or arctan to find a principal solution to a trigonometric equation

Use periodicity and symmetry to find all solutions within a specified interval

Use technology (calculator) to evaluate inverse trig functions for non-standard values

Interpret solutions in terms of the real-world context (e.g., "the height reaches 40 feet at t = 2.3 minutes")

Determine which solutions are meaningful in the modeling context and discard extraneous ones
