2 5.1 A half line or all points extended from a single point in a single direction Angle Measure, Special Triangles and Special Angles Vocabulary An angle of meaasuring 90 is a right angle. An angle of measuring 180 is called a straight angle. The joining of two rays at a common endpoint. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-

3 We know that the measure of angle is degree and 360 is a full rotation. DMS (Degree, Minutes, Seconds) Measurement System Each degree can be divided into 60 smaller parts called minutes (1 = 60 ) Each minutes can be divided into 60 smaller parts called seconds (1 = 60 ) That is, 60 minutes = 1 degree 60 seconds = 1 minute Therefore, we also have the following converting ratios: 1 = 1 of a degree 60 1 = 1 of a degree 3600 Notation: sixty-one degree, eighteen minutes, and forty-five seconds is written as

9 Angle measure can be thought of the amount of rotation from a fixed ray called the initial side to a rotated ray called the terminal side. (this way of thinking allows us to have the concept of positive and negative angles depend on the direction of the rotation). Counterclockwise rotations give positive angle. Clockwise rotations give negative angle. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-9

10 Coterminal angles: share the same initial and terminal sides Coterminal angles will always differ by multiples of 360. In other words, for any integer k, angles θ and θ + 360k will be coterminal. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-10

12 Sometimes, it might be helpful to imagine the angle on the xy-coordinate plane (we refer that the angle is in standard position). In that case, we may put the vertex of the angle at the origin. A few vocabularies: A central circle is a circle on the xy-plane with its center at the origin. A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle. For a central angle θ intersecting the circle at points B and C, we say the circular arc BC, denoted BC, subtends BAC The letter s is usually used to represent the arc length. If we define one radian (1 rad) to be the measure of an angle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius, then θ = 1 rad when s = r. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

15 Using the central angle θ measured in radians, we develop a formula for the area of a circular sector using a proportion. Recall: the circumference of the circle is C = πr. This implies that the radius, or an arc length of measurement r, can be wrapped around the circumference of the circle π 6.8 times. This shows the radian measure of a full 360 rotation is π. π rad = 360 The ratio of the area of a sector to total area = the ratio of the subtended angle to π. Using A to represent the area of the sector, we have A πr = θ A π =θπr A = 1 π r θ Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-15

25 5. Unit Circles and the Trigonometry of Real Numbers 1-5

26 Circle: a set of points on the plane that are a fixed distance called the radius from a fixed point called the center. The equation of a circle centered at origin, (0,0), and the radius r is given by x + y = r (why? ) If the central circle has radius equal 1 (x + y = 1), then it is known as the unit circle. Observe that (0,1), (1,0), (0,-1), (-1,0) are four particular points on the unit circles. They are known as quadrantal points. 1-6

27 Some exercises: 1. Find a point on the unit circle given y = 1 with (x,y) in QII. x + y = 1 x + 1 = 1 x = 1 x = 3 4 x = ± 3 We want the point in QII so we pick x = 3 3, and the point is, 1. Which quadrant would the point 3, 1 be in? QI FACT: If (a, b) is on the unit circle, then ( a, b), (a, b), ( a, b) are also on the unit circle because a circle is symmetric to both axes and the origins. So 3, 1 3, 1 3, 1 3, 1 are on the unit circle.. Name the quadrant containing 3, 4 and verify it s on the unit circle. Then use symmetry to 5 5 find three other points on the circle.

32 From the example of t = 3π, it gives rise to the concept of domain. By definition, cosine (cos) and sine (sin) have no restrictions for its domain. For functions with x in the denominator (sec and tan), we want to avoid odd multiples of π because the x-coordinate of the related point is zero. t π + πk for all integers k For functions with y in the denominator (csc and cot), we want to avoid multiples of π because the y-coordinate of the related point is zero. t πk for all integers k Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

34 In the previous example, we were able to determine the values of the trig functions even though t is unknown. In many cases, we need to find the value of t. For instance, what is the value of t given cos t = 3 with t in QII? Exercises of this type fall into two categories: (1) you recognize the given number as one of the special values: ±{0, 1,, 3, 3, 3, 1}; or () you don t. 3 In the first case, you can often name the real number t after a careful consideration of the related quadrant and required sign.

36 5.3 Graph of Since and Cosine; Cosecant and Secant Functions Learning Objectives In Section 5.3 you will learn how to: A. Graph f(t)=sin t using special values and symmetry B. Graph f(t)=cos t using special values and symmetry C. Graph sine and cosine functions with various amplitudes and periods D. Investigate graphs of the reciprocal functions f(t)=csc(bt) and f(t)=sec(bt) E. Write the equation for a given graph Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

38 Noting that 1 = 0.5, 0.71, , we plot these points and connect them with a smooth curve to graph y = sin t in the interval [0,π]. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-38

39 What happens if we expand the table from π to 4π? The function values begin to repeat. One way of verifying that it is true is by using the concept of 13π reference angle. For instance, sin = sin π since the reference angle θ 6 6 r = π ; sin 9π = 6 4 sin π since θ 4 r = π, and so on. 4 Hence sine function is an example of what is called a periodic function. (cycle through a set pattern of values). Definition: a function f is said to be periodic if there is a positive number P such that f(t + P) = f(t) for all t in the domain. The smallest number P for which this occurs is called the period of f. For the sine function we have sin t = sin (t + π), as in sin 13π 6 = sin π 6 + π and sin 9π 4 sin π + π. So we conclude that the sine function is periodic with period P = π. 4 = FACT: In general, for all real number t, sin t = sin (t + πk) for all integers k. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-39

40 Observation: both the graph and the unit circle confirm that the range of y = sin t is 1,1 and that y = sin t is an odd function. Recall: a function f is odd if f t = f(t). A quick verification for the sine function: sin π = sin π. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-40

41 FACT: In general, for all real number t, sin t = sin(t + πk) for all integers k. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-41

43 There is another way to get the values for cosine: we know that ± 1, ± 3, ± 3, ± 1, ±, ± are all points on the unit circle since they satisfy x + y = 1. Since cos t = x and sin t = y, the equation cos t + sin t = 1 can be obtained by direct substitution. This means if sin t = ± 1 then cos t = ± 3 and vice versa, with the sign taken from the appropriate quadrant. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-43

44 The function is decreasing for t in 0, π, and increasing for t in (π, π). Similar to sine function, cosine is also periodic with a period of π. And we note that cosine is an even function, meaning cos (t) = cos ( t) for all t in the domain. Recall: a function f is even if f t = f(t). A quick verification for the cosine function: cos π = cos π = 0. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-44

45 Observing the graph of the functions y = sin x and y = cos x again: They are oscillating back and forth, and one question to consider is how far is the distance between the maximum and minimum value. Now half of this distance is what called an amplitude. Another way of thinking of amplitude is the height of the function. With the basic sine and cosine function, it is easy to see that the amplitude is 1. However, how can we tell the amplitude of a more complicated sine and cosine functions? ANSWER: if y = Asin(Bx) or y = Acos(Bx), the amplitude can be found by computing A. Quick examples: y = 4sin(x) has an amplitude of A = 4 = 4 y = 5cos(3x) has an amplitude of A = 5 = 5 Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

46 Graphing the basic sin x function by using its characteristics: Amplitude 1 =1 Period π Starting point x = 0 End point Mid-point Q1 Q3 x = 0 + π = π x = 0+π = π x = 0+π = π x = π+π = 3π Notice that we are focusing in the interval [0,π]. If we were to aim our focus to the graph of this function on a different interval, say [ π, 3π], how would the graph look like? The starting point, end point and mid-point are the zeroes of the sine function while Q1 and Q3 represent the x-coordinates where the maximum and minimum values occur. 46

47 Let us look at a variation of 3sin x and see how different it is from the basic one. y = 3 sin x y = sin x We see that the amplitude affects the height of the graph. It alters the maximum and minimum values. These values still occur at the same x-values as the basic function, but the maximum and minimum values are no longer 1 and -1. They depend on the value of the amplitude. 47

48 Continue with a different variation of graph of sin x and see how it differs from the basic one. y = sin x y = sin sin3x x y = sin 1 x What did we notice? It seems like multiply the input x by means each cycle will complete twice as fast. What if I multiply x by 3? What if I multiply x by 1? 48

49 We conclude to ourselves that changing the input of the sin x function will affect its graph horizontally. More importantly, it changes the period and the x-values where the graph intersects the x-axis (remember these are called the zeroes of the function). To find the period P of y = Asin(Bx) and y = Acos(Bx), we do P = π B Example: Sketch the graph of y = 1 sin (4x) Amplitude A = 1 = 1 Period P = π 4 = π Starting point x = 0 End point x = 0 + π = π Mid-point Q1 Q3 x = 0+π = π 4 x = 0+π 4 x = = π 8 π 4 +π = 3π 8 49

50 Observe that once we correctly graph one cycle of the function, extending the graph in either direction is not a hard matter because the cycle repeats itself. 50

51 Another variation that we may see are horizontal and vertical shifting in the function sin x. This is relatively straightforward y = sin x ± C ± D means that the function sin x shift either left or right C units and up or down D unit (depend on the signs in front of C and D). Example: Sketch the graph of y = sin x + π 1 y = sin x y = sin x + π y = sin x + π 1 51

52 One more transformation we might see is the graph of y = sin x. This is a vertical reflection of the original function y = sin x. Its graph will look like this Notice: sin( x) = sin x since the sine function is an odd function. 5

53 Example: Sketch the graph of y = 3 sin 1 x + π Solution: Amplitude: A = 3 = 3 Period: P = π 1 Phase shift: 1 x + π = 0 1 x = π x = π = 4π (this is the starting point) Vertical shift: None End point: x = π + 4π = 3π Mid-point: x = π+3π Q1 = π+π = 0 Q3 = π+3π = π = π Amplitude 3 Period 4π Starting point x = π End point x = 3π Mid-point x = π Q1 x = 0 Q3 x = π 53

54 54

55 Example: Sketch the graph of y = 3 cos x π 4 Amplitude: A = 3 = 3 Period: P = π = π 1 Phase shift: x π = 0 x = π 4 4 starting point) Vertical shift: none (this is my End point: x = π 4 + π = 9π 4 Mid-point: x = Q1: x = Q: x = π 4 +5π 4 5π 4 +9π 4 π 4 +9π 4 = 3π 4 = 7π 4 = 5π 4 Notice that for cosine function, Q1 and Q become the zeroes of the function while the starting point, end point and mid-point become where the minimum/maximum occur.

56 Once we know how to graph y = A sin(bx) and y = A cos(bx), graphing y = A csc(bx) and y = A sec(bx) can be done easily. Why? Cosecant and secant function are the reciprocal of sine and cosine function: csc x = 1 sin x sec x = 1 cos x One of the crucial thing worth noticing is that cosecant and secant will have vertical asymptote at every point where sine and cosine equal to 0, respectively. Example: graph the function y = csc x for x [0,4π] We follow the same procedure as before to graph y = sin x first Notice that sin x = 0 at x = 0, π, π, 3π, 4π. So these are the places where the vertical asymptotes appear. Also, sin π = sin 5π = 1 implies csc π = csc 5π = 1. sin 3π = sin 7π = 1 implies csc 3π = csc 7π = 1.

58 So far we have been dealing with given a function then graph that function. Can we do this conversely, meaning given the graph, can we write the equation that it represents? In this section, we look at the simple cases by examining the amplitude and the period of sine and cosine function. Example: given the following graph, write the equation of the function By looking at the behavior of the graph, this is the graph of some function y = A sin(bx). Since the amplitude of this graph is 3 4, A = 3 4. The period P = 8π. Now P = π so to find B, we do B = π = π 8π 3 B P 3 Therefore, the function is y = 3 sin 3 x. 4 4 = 3 4 Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

73 Sinusoidal pattern A pattern that can be modeled by a sine (or cosine) function. One particular example is outdoor temperatures y = Asin(Bt) We take t = 0 corresponds to 1:00 noon. Note that A = 15 and P = 4 B = π 1. If a vertical shift is applied, then the function would have the form y = Asin Bt + D. D can be thought of as the average value. If we let M be the maximum value and m be the minimum value, we have A + D = M m D A = M+m + M+m M m = M = m M m = A M+m = D = M (amplitude + average value = maximum value) = m (average value amplitude = minimum value) Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-73

74 Note: P = 4 and B = π as stated before. Hence, 1 y = A sin π t + D 1 We know M = 85 and m = 61, thus we can compute the amplitude A and the average value D A = M m = = 1 D = M + m = = 73 Therefore, y = 1 sin π t + 73 is the sinusoidal 1 equation model for the daily temperature.

75 Since B = π π, we can compute the period P = 5 π = This means the population of this species rises and falls over a 10-yr cycle. amplitude + average value = maximum value So M = = 10,00 average value amplitude = minimum value So m = = 7800 Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

85 To solve for a right triangle means to find the measure of all three angles and all three sides To solve for c, we do sin 30 = 17.9 c c = 17.9 sin 30 = 17.9 = To solve for b, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to get b 31 Since A and B are complements, that means B = 60.

86 Using calculator can help to find the value of trig functions of angles that are less familiar. We see that B = 58 because angles A and B are complements.

89 From the example above, we see that α + β = 90 β = 90 α Now, sin α = a c ; cos β = a c So sin α = cos β = cos(90 α) In words: the sine of an angle is equal to cosine of its complement. Therefore, sine and cosine are called cofunctions. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 1-89

96 APPLICATIONS USING ANGLE OF ELEVATION/DEPRESSION Terminology: An angle of elevation is defined to be the acute angle form by a horizontal line of orientation (parallel to level ground) and a line of sight. An angle of depression is likewise defined but involves a line of sight that is below the horizontal line of orientation. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

101 Given a triangle with hypotenuse of 10, we can use the ratio in the triangle to figure out the length of the two legs: 5 and 5 3. If we place it in QI with the 30 angle at the origin and the longer leg along the x-axis, we get sin 30 = y r = 5 10 = 1 cos 30 = x r = = 3 tan 30 = = 1 3 = 3 3 Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display

102 Therefore, we can define the six trig functions in terms of x, y, and r, where r = x + y The slope of the line coincident with the hypotenuse is 5. Since the line goes = through the origin, using the point-slope formula, we get the equation of that line y = 3 3 x Notice: no matter what point we pick on that line, it will be at the 60 vertex of a right triangle if we draw a perpendicular line from that point to the x-axis.

103 For convenience, we pick x = 6 (you can pick any value x you want). Hence, y = 3, which leads to the point (6, 3) being on the line and at the vertex of a 60 triangle. Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display

107 REFERENCE ANGLE REVISIT To find reference angle, it is not enough to just plus/minus 360 from the original angle. One technique to find reference angle: 1. Plus/minus 360 to make your original angle is within 0 to 360 (if necessary). Draw out the new angle to see which quadrant it is in 3. Use the above to help figure out the reference angle Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display

108 a. Angle 315 is in QIV. So to find the reference angle in this case, we compute: θ r = = 45 b. Angle 150 is in QII. So to find the reference angle in this case, we compute: θ r = = 30 c. Angle 11 is not within 0 to 360. So I m going to add 360 until the new angle is within 0 to 360 for the first time: = 39 Since and it is in QIII, hence the reference angle θ r = = 59 d. Once again, 45 is not within 0 to 360. So in this case, I m going to subtract 360 until the new angle is within 0 to 360 for the first time: = 65 Since and it is in QI, hence the reference angle θ r = 65 Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

109 The terminal side is in QIV where x is positive and y is negative. With θ = 45, we have sin 315 = cos 315 = tan 315 = 1 Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display

110 sin θ is positive in QI and QII, while cos θ is negative in QII and QIII. Both conditions are satisfied in QII only. Since sin θ = y, we have that y = 5 and r = 13. By using Pythagorean theorem, r we have x = 13 5 = 144 = ±1. To be in QII, we pick x = 1 Hence, cos θ = 1 13 and tan θ = 13 1 Moreover, csc θ = , sec θ =, and cot θ = Copyright (c) The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
