Trigonometric Functions Of Any Angle

Unit Circle Rationale •

Trig Function of Any Angle Let θ be an angle whose terminal side contains the point (4, 3). Find sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ. We must first find the hypotenuse (r) by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Signs of the Trig Functions Quadrant II Positive sin, csc Positive ALL STUDENTS TAKE Positive tan, cot CALCULUS Quadrant III Positive cos, sec Quadrant IV Always look for the quadrant where the terminal side of the angle is located.

P Check for the validity of the signs in the answers.

Step-by-step, inch-by-inch ü What is the coordinate? Identify x and y. ü Find r by using the equation ü Substitute the values for x, y, and r into the six trig identities of any triangle. ü Check the signs of your answers by using, “ALL STUDENTS TAKE CALCULUS”. (The terminal side of the angle determines which quadrant to use. )

In which quadrant does the terminal side lie? Check for the validity of the signs in the answers.

In which quadrant does the terminal side lie? Check for the validity of the signs in the answers. In which quadrant does the terminal side lie?

Trig Functions of Quadrantal Angles Step-by-Step Inch-by-Inch Evaluate the sine function at the following four quadrantal angles. First, we must find r.

Trig Functions of Quadrantal Angles Evaluate the tangent function at the following four quadrantal angles. Since we only need x and y to find tangent, we don’t need to find r. Would the answers change if the angles were expressed as degrees? No

Evaluating Trigonometric Functions

Evaluating Trigonometric Functions Check: cosine is positive in quadrant IV. Check: Cosecant is negative in quadrant IV.

Evaluating Trigonometric Functions Step 2: Find x and y. Step 3: Find r.

Evaluating Trigonometric Functions Check: Sine is positive in quadrant II. Check: Cosecant is negative in quadrant II.

Reference Angles The reference angle is the positive acute angle formed by the terminal side of the angle and the x-axis.
