Lesson 3: 7.3 Trigonometric Substitution
Duration of Days: 4
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to solve specific types of integrals using the Trigonometric Substitution technique.
- What are they three specific forms of a function for which we can apply Trigonometric Substitution?
- What is it about these specific trigonometric substitutions that allows us to solve these integrals that had previously been unsolvable?
- Trigonometric Substitution
(solving specific forms of integrals using Trigonometric Substitution)
- Solving integrals of a specific form using Trigonometric Substitution
- DOK Levels 1-4
- all applications of integrals
In this section, we are making substitutions that seem to be making the function more complicated in order to solve. This can be strange for students at first until they realize how the simplifying will make the integrals solvable.
