The graph of y 1 0. 5 0 -0. 5 -1 100 200 300 x

The graph of y 20 10 0 -10 -20 180 360 x

The CAST Diagram Sin only positive 2 nd Quadrant 3 rd Tan only positive 1 st Quadrant 4 th Quadrant On the CAST diagram All angles are measured Anti-Clockwise All positive Cos only positive

y From the graph we can see that there are two solutions 1 On the CAST diagram there are two possible angles. One acute the other obtuse. 0. 5 0 A S 30° T C x = 150° T -1 C x = 30° -0. 5 180 360 x

y 20 From the graph we can see that there are two solutions 10 On the CAST diagram there are two possible angles. One reflex the other obtuse. 0 180 360 -10 A S -20 60° T C x = 120° T 60° C x = 300° On the CAST diagram A negative angle means we move Clockwise x

(i) A S 41. 8° T C x = 138. 2° A S T C x = 41. 8°

(ii) A S 75. 5° T C T x = 284. 5° C x = 75. 5° (iii) A S 33. 7° T C x = 146. 3° A S T 33. 7° C x = 326. 3°

A S 45° T C x = 315° x = 45° (i) S A 135° T C x = 135° A S T 135° x = 225° C
