A question is this type if and only if it asks you to state or find the coordinates of maximum/minimum points on a given trigonometric curve, either from a graph or equation.
A question is this type if and only if it applies a trigonometric model to a real-world context (harbour depth, daylight hours, Ferris wheel) and asks for specific times or values.
Sketch the graph of a single sin, cos, or tan function (possibly with amplitude/period/phase transformations) over a specified interval, where the function is NOT an inverse or reciprocal trig function.
A question is this type if and only if you are given one trigonometric ratio (like sin θ or cos θ) and must find the exact value of another ratio (like tan θ) without a calculator.
A question is this type if and only if it requires finding the exact coordinates where two trigonometric curves (or a curve and line) intersect by solving equations.
Sketch two trigonometric curves on the same axes and use the sketch to deduce the number of solutions to an equation or intersections in a given interval.
Given a graph of a transformed trigonometric function of the form y = a sin(bx) + c or similar, determine the values of the constants a, b, c from the graph.

A question is this type if and only if it asks you to state the period of a trigonometric function or describe geometric transformations mapping one graph to another.
A question is this type if and only if it asks for the general solution (all solutions) of a trigonometric equation, typically expressed in terms of n or involving 2πn.
A question is this type if and only if it asks you to show or prove that one trigonometric expression equals another, or to manipulate an equation into a specific form.
A question is this type if and only if it asks for the range of a trigonometric function or the set of values of a parameter k for which certain conditions hold (like no solutions).
A question is this type if and only if it asks you to sketch or identify a graph after a specific transformation (translation, stretch, reflection) has been applied to a standard trig function.
A question is this type if and only if it requires solving a trigonometric equation to find exact solutions (involving surds, fractions of π, or exact angle values) in a given interval, possibly using identities or algebraic manipulation.
Sketch the graph of a single reciprocal trig function (sec, cosec, cot) or inverse trig function (arcsin, arccos, arctan) over a specified interval.
A question is this type if and only if it asks you to write down or verify exact values of sin, cos, or tan at standard angles like π/6, π/4, π/3, etc.
A question is this type if and only if the equation can be rewritten as a quadratic in sin x, cos x, or similar, requiring substitution and the quadratic formula or factoring.
