Radians Radian measure is an alternative to degrees and is based upon the ratio of al θ r θ- theta arc length (al) radius

θ al = r If the arc length = the radius r θ (radians) = r/r = 1 1 radian = 57∙ 3 o

● If we now take a semi-circle π radians al = 180 o Here al = ½ of Learn this!! circumference == ½ ½ of of 2πr πd θ r = πr So θ (radians) = πr /r = π

π (radians) = 180 o The connection between radians and degrees is : This now gives us 2π = 360 o π / = 90 o 3π / = 270 o 2 2 π/ 3 π/ 4 π/ 6 = 60 o = 45 o /3 = 120 o 3π / = 135 o 4 5π / = 150 o 6 2π = 30 o NB: Radians are usually expressed as fractional

Converting ÷ 180 then × π degrees radian s then × 180÷ π

Converting ÷ 36 ÷ 30 ÷ 36 72 o = 330 o = ÷ 18 ÷ 30

Angular Velocity In the days before CDs the most popular format for music was “vinyls”. Singles played at 45 rpm while albums played at 331/3 rpm = revolutions per minute ! Going back about 70 years an earlier version of vinyls played at 78 rpm. Convert these record speeds into “radians per second

So So NB: 1 revolution = = 2π radians 1 min = 60 o secs 45 rpm 360 = 45 × 2π or 90π radians per min = 90π/60 or 3π/2 radians per sec 331/3 rpm = 331/3 × 2π or 662/3 π radians per min = 662/3 × π /60 or So 10 π / 9 radians per sec 78 rpm = 78 × 2π or 156π radians per min = 156π/ 60 or 13 π / sec 5 radians per

Trig Identities An identity is a statement which is true for all values. (1) sin 2θ + cos 2 θ = 1θ ≠ an odd multiple of π/2 or 90° (2)tansin = θθ since this coswould θ mean dividing by 0

Why sin 2θo + cos 2 θo = 1 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 sinθo = a/c cosθo = b/c (1) sin 2θo + cos 2 θo =

Often you will have to rearrange the identities. sin 2θ + cos 2 θ = 1 Is the same as: sin 2 θ = 1 – cos 2 θ Is the same as: cos 2 θ = 1 – sin 2 θ

Using Trig Identities Example 1 Given sin θ = 5/13 where 0 < π/ θ < Find the exact 2 values of cos θ and tan θ. cos 2 θ = 1 - sin 2 θ Since θ is between 0 < θ < π/2 = 1 – (5/13)2 = 1– = 144/ 25/ 169 sinθ tan cos θ =θ = 169 cos θ = √(144/169) = 12/ 13 or 5/ 13 ÷ 12/13 5= = tan /13θ 5×/=12135//12 12 -12/ 13 cos θ = 12/13

Given that cos θ = -2/ √ 5 Find sin θ and tan θ. Since θ is between π < θ < 3π / 2 sin 2 θ = 1 - cos 2 θ = 1 – (-2/ √ 5 )2 Hence tan θ = 1/2 - 1/ -2 sinθ tan cos θ =and θ =sinθ =√ 5 - ÷ 1/ / √ 5 = 1 – 4/5 = 1/ √ 5 5 = sin θ = √(1/5) = 1/ √ 5 or where π < θ < 3π /2 - 1/ √ 5 × - √ 5 /2
