TEST 3. Trigonometry (P1-P2) (2014)

This document contains two math tests on trigonometry by Christos Nikolaidis. The first test has 7 questions covering topics like trig identities, solving trig equations, graphing trig functions, and applying trig to find lengths and areas in triangles. The second test has 6 questions similar to the first but focuses more on 3D geometry, vectors, and word problems involving distance, speed, time and bearings. Both tests assess students' mastery of trigonometry through multiple choice and free response questions requiring the use of trig identities, functions, inverses, and applications of trig to geometry.
