• use trigonometric functions and the relationships sin2 x + cos2x = 1 and tan x

• derive composite functions

• use the derivative to analyse trigonometric functions

• model trigonometric functions as a periodic phenomena

• examine trigonometric functions using technological tools for solving trigonometric equations and derive trigonometric functions in practical application problems.
