Radians & Degrees and Co-Terminal Angles Return to Table of Contents 4
A few definitions: A central angle of a circle is an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle. An intercepted arc is the part of the circle that includes the points of intersection with the central angle and all the points in the interior of the angle. central angle intercepted arc 5
Radians and Degrees One radian is the measure of a central angle that intercepts an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. There are, or a little more than 6, radians in a circle. Click on the circle for an animated view of radians. 6
Converting from Degrees to Radians There are 360 in a circle. Therefore 360 = 2 radians 2 1 = 360 = 180 radians Use this conversion factor to covert degrees to radians. Example: Convert 50 and 90 to radians. 50 = 5 radians 180 18 90 = radians 180 2 7

Angles Terminal side Initial side Terminal side Initial side Angle Angle in standard position An angle is formed by rotating a ray about its endpoint. The starting position is the initial side and the ending position is the terminal side. When, on the coordinate plane, the vertex of the angle is the origin and the initial side is the positive x-axis, the angle is in standard position. 15
Positive Angle - terminal side rotates in a counterclockwise direction Negative Angle - terminal side rotates in a clockwise direction α = - 37 16
Drawing angles in standard position 310 500 40 Each quadrant is 90, and 310 is 40 more than 270, so the terminal side is 40 past the negative y-axis. 500 is 140 more than 360, so the angle makes a complete revolution counterclockwise and then another 140. 17
Coterminal Angles Angles that have the same terminating side are coterminal. To find coterminal angles add or subtract multiples of 360 for degrees and 2 for radians. Example: Find one positive and one negative angle that are terminal with 75. 75 + 360 = 435 75-360 = -285 435-285 75 18

Unit Circle Return to Table of Contents 32
The circle x 2 + y 2 = 1, with center (0,0) and radius 1, is called the unit circle. The Unit Circle Quadrant II: x is negative and y is positive (0,1) 1 Quadrant I: x and y are both positive (-1,0) Quadrant III: x and y are both negative (0,-1) (1,0) Quadrant IV: x is positive and y is negative 33
The unit circle allows us to extend trigonometry beyond angles of triangles to angles of all measures. (-1,0) (0,-1) (0,1) 1 θ a (a,b) b (1,0) In this triangle, sinθ= b 1 cosθ = = b a 1 = a so the coordinates of (a,b) are also (cosθ, sinθ) For any angle in standard position, the point where the terminal side of the angle intercepts the circle is called the terminal point. 34
In this example, the terminal point is in Quadrant IV. If we look at the triangle, we can see that sin(-55 ) = 0.82 0.57-55 1 0.82 cos(-55 ) = 0.57 EXCEPT that we have to take the direction into account, and so sin(-55 ) is negative because the y value is below the x-axis. For any angle θ in standard position, the terminal point has coordinates (cosθ, sinθ). 35

Example: Given a terminal point cscθ. Note the "hidden" Pythagorean Triple, 8, 15, 17)., find θ, tanθ and To find θ, use sin -1 or cos -1 : sin -1 ( ) = θ θ 28.1 tanθ = sinθ/cosθ tanθ = cscθ = 1/sinθ cscθ = 40

For every point on the circle, θ A 22.3-22.3 5 (, - 13 ) Since x is in quadrant III, x = - 12 5 sin -1 (- 13 ) -22.3, BUT θ is in quadrant III, so θ = 180 + 22.3 = 202.3 (notice how 202.3 and -22.3 have the same sine) sin θ tan θ = cos θ = = 5 12 13 41

Graphing the Sine Function, y = sin x Graphby creating a table of values of key points. One option is to use the set of values for x that are multiples of, and the corresponding values of y or sin x.

A periodic function is one that repeats its values at regular intervals. One complete repetition of the pattern is called a cycle. The period is the length of one complete cycle. The trig functions are periodic functions. The basic sine and cosine curves have a period of 2, meaning that the graph completes one complete cycle in 2 units. 94
y = sin bx or y = cos bx Consider the graphs of y = cos x and y = cos 2x. y = cos x one cycle y = cos 2x Notice that the graph of y = cos 2x completes one cycle twice as fast, or in units. 95
y = cos x completes 1 cycle in 2π. So the period is 2π. y = cos 2x completes 2 cycles in 2π or 1 cycle in π. The period is π. y = cos 0.5x completes a cycle in 4π. The period is 4π. 96

Graphing the Tangent Function Graph by creating a table of values of key points. One option is to use the set of values for x that are multiples of, and the corresponding values of y or tan x. 133
Notice that the tangent function is not defined for values of x where cos x = 0, or starting at and every units in either direction. This is shown on the graph by the vertical lines, or asymptotes at these x values. The period of the function is units, because there is one complete cycle from to. As x approaches or any odd multiple of from the left, y increases and approaches infinity. As x approaches from the right, y decreases and approaches negative infinity. 134
Example: Sketch the graph of y = tan (x + ) + 2 Asymptotes will be at 0,, 2, etc. The midline will be at y = 2. 135

Trigonometric Identities Return to Table of Contents 137
Key Ideas An identity is a mathematical equation that is true for all defined values of the variable. A trigonometric identity is an identity that contains one or more trig ratios. By contrast, a conditional equation is one that is only true for a limited set of values. By learning trig identities, we will be able to replace complicated expressions with simpler ones to solve and verify more difficult equations and identities. 138
Drag each equation into the correct box: 3x + 4 = 3x + 4 3x + 4 = 9 5x - 7y = -(7y - 5x) 2x 5 =x 3 sin θ + cos θ = 1 tan θ cot θ =1 2(x-1) = 2x - 2 (x + 3) 2 = x 2 + 9 sin 4x = 4sin x Identities Conditional Equations 139
Reciprocal Identities Basic Trig Identities csc θ = 1 sin θ sin θ = 1 csc θ sec θ = 1 cos θ cos θ = 1 sec θ cot θ = 1 tan θ tan θ = 1 cot θ Tangent Identity tan θ = sin θ cos θ Cotangent Identity cot θ = cos θ sin θ 140
By using the basic identities we can change an expression into an equivalent expression. Also, all of the rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that we learned to solve equations and manipulate expressions can be applied to trig expressions and equations. 141
Algebraic example Trig example (x - y)(x + y) = x 2 - y 2 (1 - cos θ)(1 + cos θ) = 1 - cos 2 θ 142
Pythagorean Identities Recall the unit circle, x 2 + y 2 = 1. (-1,0) (0,1) 1 (0,-1) (cos θ,sin θ) (1,0) For any point (x, y) on the circle, its coordinates are (cos θ, sin θ). Therefore, (cos θ) 2 + (sin θ) 2 = 1 2, which is usually written as cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 1 143
Pythagorean Identities How do we transform the first identity, which is derived from the unit circle, to the other two? 144
Alternative Forms of Identities Since we know that 3 + 5 = 8, we also know that 8-5 = 3 and 8-3 = 5. In elementary school we call these equivalent equations "fact families". Similarly, if cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 1, it follows that 1 - cos 2 θ = sin 2 θ and 1 - sin 2 θ = cos 2 θ. 145
More Alternative Forms Another fact family tells that since follows that 4 5 = 20. 20 5 = 4, it 1 Since sec θ = cos θ, then sec θ cos θ = 1 (multiply both sides of the first equation by cos θ). 146
Simplifying Trig Expressions Example 1: Simplify csc θ cos θ tan θ. Rewrite each trig ratio in terms of cos and sin: 1 sin θ sin θ cos θ = 1 cos θ (When multiplying fractions, it is often easier to reduce or cancel before you multiply.) Example 2: Simplify csc 2 θ(1 - cos 2 θ). 1 sin 2 θ (sin 2 θ) = 1 147
Verifying an Identity Transform one side of the identity to be the same as the other side Example 1: Verify sin θ cot θ = cos θ sin θ cos θ sin θ = cos θ Example 2: Verify cos θ csc θ tan θ = 1 1 sin θ sin θ cos θ cos θ = 1 148
