Find trig functions of 300° without calculator. Reference angle is 60°[360° - 300°]; IV quadrant sin 300° = - sin 60° cos 300° = cos 60° tan 300° = - tan 60° csc 300° = - csc 60° sec 300° = sec 60° cot 300° = - cot 60° 60° 300° Use special angle chart.
sin 300° =- sin 60° = - 0.8660 = cos 300° = cos 60° = 0.5000 = 1/ 2 tan 300° = - tan 60° = -1.732 = csc 300° = - csc 60° = -1.155 = sec 300° = sec 60° = 2.000 = 2/1 cot 300° = - cot 60° = - 0.5774 =
Quadrant Angles
*Quadrant Angles • Reference angles cannot be drawn for • quadrant angles 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° • Determined from the unit circle; r = 1 • Coordinates of points (x, y) • correspond to (cos θ, sin θ)
*Quadrant Angles 90° (0,1) → (cos θ, sin θ) r = 1 180° (-1,0) 0° (1,0) 270° (0,-1)
Find trig functions for - 90°. Reference angle is (360° - 90°) → 270° sin 270° = -1 cos 270° = 0 tan 270° undefined csc 270° = -1 sec 270° undefined cot 270° = 0 -90° Use quadrant angle chart. 270°
Coterminal Angles
*Coterminal Angle The angle between 0º and 360º having the same terminal side as a given angle. Ex. 405º- 360º = coterminal angle 45º θ1 = 405º θ2 = 45º
*Coterminal Angles Used with anglesgreater than 360°, or angles less than 0°. • Example • cos 900° = • cos (900° - 720°) = • cos 180° = -1 • (See quadrant angles chart)
Example • tan (-135° ) = • tan (360° -135°) = • tan 225° = • LOOK→ tan (225° - 180°) • tan 45° = 1 • (See special angles chart)
Find the value of sec 7π / 4 • Convert from radian to degrees: • sec [(7π/ 4)(180/ π)] = sec 315°
Angle in IV quadrant: sec →positive • sec (360° - 315°) = sec 45° • = 1 /(cos 45°) = √2 = 1.414 • Look how this problem was worked • in previous lesson.
Express as a function of the reference angle and find the value. tan 210° sec 120 °
Express as a function of the reference angle and find the value. sin (- 330°) csc 225°
Express as a function of the reference angle and find the value. cot (9π/2) cos (-5π)
Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Inverse Trig Functions • Used to find the angle • when two sides of right triangle are known... • or if its trigonometric functions are known Notation used: Read: “angle whose sine is …” Also,
Inverse trig functions have only one principal value of the angle defined for each value of x: 0° <arccos< 180° -90° <arcsin< 90° -90° <arctan< 90°
Example: Given tan θ = -1.600, find θ to the nearest 0.1° for 0° <θ< 360° • Tan is negative in II & IV quadrants
θ = 180° - 58.0° = 122° II θ = 360° - 58.0° = 302° IV Note: On the calculator entering results in -58.0°
