Trig Exam 2 Review F07 O’Brien

Trigonometry Exam 2 Review: Chapters 4, 5, 6

25 – 30% of the questions on Exam 2 will come from Chapters 1 through 3. The other 70 – 75% of the exam will come from
Chapters 4 through 6. There may be some fill-in-the blank, matching, true-false, and/or multiple choice questions, as well as
problems you must work out.
To prepare for the second exam, I’d suggest you do the following:
1. Go over your notes and the Quick Reviews at the end of every chapter from 1 through 6.
2. Go over the Concept Questions in each section from 1.1 through 6.3.
3. Rework Exam 1, and work the problems on this review, using only the departmental formula sheet. Try not to peek at
your notes, homework, text, solutions manual, or other resources.
4. Try to finish the review a few days before the exam so you have time to go back through it and make sure you can do
all the problems on your own.

Directions: On every problem, show all of your support work and / or explain how you came up with your answer.
Anytime you are asked to perform a calculation manually or to give an exact answer, you may not use a
calculator.
