Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article deals with solutions of trigonometric inequalities using the unit circle. Specific examples show its application for all trigonometric functions, namely sinus, cosine, tangent and cotangent. An explanation of how to correctly define the period for solving inequalities is also provided. Before analyzing the solution to trigonometric inequalities, the authors present the solution of trigonometric equations according to the formula, but his roots are depicted on the unit circle, where detailed explanation of the record of solutions of this equation. The pictures in the article demonstrate the images that should be presented by the teacher on the blackboard when solving trigonometric inequalities. The article is written in an accessible language, when reading which the unit circle method will be understandable not only to current teachers, but also to students of Junior courses of pedagogical universities.
