|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm1_Bq3LII0 Linear Combination of Sine and Cosine functions] by SLCC Math Department. This video shows you how to convert from a sum of trig functions to a single cosine function. In the pre-lecture problems, you're asked to convert to a single sine function so you'll have to figure out how to modify the approach in the video appropriately - you just have to use a different trig identity but the rest is similar.

Revision as of 17:25, 20 January 2017

These resources are pulled together from various online sources. I've tried to be as specific as possible to the problems in the pre-lecture assignments. However, many related videos can be found by the same authors as those posted below. If you find other videos (or other resources) that you found particularly useful, let me know.

Please send me requests for more suitable supplements when these do not prove sufficient.

Pre-lecture assignment link
