Basic Terms

Two distinct points determine a line called


line AB.
A B

Line segment ABa portion of the line


between A and B, including points A and B.
A B
Ray ABportion of line AB that starts at A and
continues through B, and on past B.

Basic Terms continued

Angle-formed by rotating
a ray around its endpoint.

The ray in its initial


position is called the
initial side of the angle.

The ray in its location


after the rotation is the
terminal side of the
angle.

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-4


Naming Angles
Unless it is ambiguous as to the meaning, angles may
be named only by a single letter (English or Greek)
displayed at vertex or in area of rotation between initial
and terminal sides
Angles may also be named by three letters, one
representing a point on the initial side, one representing
the vertex and one representing a point on the terminal
side (vertex letter in the middle, others first or last)

B Acceptable Names :

Angle Measures and Types of Angles

The most common unit for measuring angles is


the degree. (One rotation = 360o)
rotation = 90o, rotation = 180o, 1 360 rotation 10
Angle and measure of angle not the same, but it
is common to say that an angle = its measure
Types of angles named on basis of measure:

0o 90o 90 o 90o 180o 180o


Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-7
Complementary and Supplementary Angles

Two positive angles are called complementary


if the sum of their measures is 90o
The angle that is complementary to 43o = 47 o
Two positive angles are called supplementary if
the sum of their measures is 180o
The angle that is supplementary to 68o = 112o

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-8


Example: Complementary Angles

Find the measure of each angle.


Since the two angles form a right
angle, they are complementary
angles. Thus,
k 20 k 16 90 k +20

k 16
2k 4 90
2k 86
The two angles have measures of:
k 43
43 + 20 = 63 and 43 16 = 27

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-9


Example: Supplementary Angles

Find the measure of each angle.


Since the two angles form a straight
angle, they are supplementary
angles. Thus,
6x 7 3x 2 180
9x 9 180 6x + 7 3x + 2

9x 171
These angle measures are:
x 19
6(19) + 7 = 121 and 3(19) + 2 = 59

Standard Position

An angle is in standard position if its vertex is


at the origin and its initial side is along the
positive x-axis.

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-14


Quadrantal Angles

Angles in standard position having their terminal


sides along the x-axis or y-axis, such as angles
with measures 90, 180, 270, and so on, are
called quadrantal angles.

Measure : 3600

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-15


Coterminal Angles

A complete rotation of a ray results in an angle


measuring 360. Given angle A, and continuing
the rotation by a multiple of 360 will result in a
different angle, A + n360,with the same
terminal side: coterminal angles.

Trigonometric Functions

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc.


Trigonometric Functions Compared with
Algebraic Functions
Algebraic functions are sets of ordered pairs of real
numbers such that every first member, x, is paired with
exactly one second member, y
Trigonometric functions are sets of ordered pairs such
that every first member, an angle, is paired with exactly
one second member, a ratio of real numbers
Algebraic functions are given names like f, g or h and in
function notation, the second member that is paired with
x is shown as f(x), g(x) or h(x)
Trigonometric functions are given the names, sine,
cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, or cosecant, and in
function notation, the second member that is paired with
the angle A is shown as sin(A), cos(A), tan(A), cot(A),
sec(A), or csc(A) (sometimes parentheses are omitted)

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-35

Trigonometric Functions
r

Let (x, y) be a point other the origin on the


terminal side of an angle in standard position.
The distance, r, from the point to the origin is:
r x2 y 2 .
The six trigonometric functions of are defined as:
y x y
sin cos tan (x 0)
r r x
r r x
csc ( y 0) sec ( x 0) cot (y 0)
y x y

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-36


Values of Trig Functions Independent of
Point Chosen
For the given angle, if point (x1,y1) is picked and r1 is
calculated, trig functions of that angle will be ratios of the
sides of the triangle shown in blue.
For the same angle, if point (x2,y2) is picked and r2 is
calculated, trig functions of the angle will be ratios of the
triangle shown in green
Since the triangles are similar, ratios and trig function
values will be exactly the same

Trigonometric Functions of Coterminal
Angles
Note: To calculate trigonometric functions of an
angle in standard position it is only necessary to
know one point on the terminal side of that
angle, and its distance from the origin
In the previous example six trig functions of the
given angle were calculated. All angles
coterminal with that angle will have identical trig
function values
ALL COTERMINAL ANGLES HAVE IDENTICAL
TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTION VALUES!!!!

Finding Trigonometric Functions of
Quadrantal Angles
A point on the terminal side of a quadrantal angle always
has either x = 0 or y = 0 (x = 0 when terminal side is on y
axis, y = 0 when terminal side is on x axis)
Since any point on the terminal side can be picked,
choose x = 0 or y = 0, as appropriate, and choose r = 1
The remaining x or y will then be 1 or -1

Finding Trigonometric Functions of Specific
Angles
Until discussing trigonometric functions of specific
quadrantal angles such as 90o, 180o, etc., we have found
trigonometric functions of angles by knowing or finding
some point on the terminal side of the angle without
knowing the measure of the angle
At the present time, we know how to find exact
trigonometric values of specific angles only if they are
quadrantal angles
In the next chapter we will learn to find exact
trigonometric values of 30o, 45o, and 60o angles
In the meantime, we can find approximate trigonometric
values of specific angles by using a scientific calculator
set in degree mode

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-48


Finding Approximate Trigonometric Function
Values of Sine, Cosine and Tangent
Make sure your calculator is set in degree mode
Depending on your calculator,
Enter the angle measure first then press the
appropriate sin, cos or tan key to get the value
Press the sin, cos, or tan key first, then enter the
angle measure
Practice on these: sin 270o 1
tan 60o 1.732050808
cos 30o 0.866025403
We will learn more about using the calculator in the next chapter.
Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-49
Exponential Notation and Trigonometric
Functions
A trigonometric function defines a real number ratio for a
specific angle, for example sin A is the real number
ratio assigned by the sine function to the angle A
Since sin A is a real number it can be raised to any
rational number power, such as 2 in which case we
would have (sin A)2
However, this value is more commonly written as sin2 A
sin2 A = (sin A)2
Using this reasoning then if tan A = 3, then:
tan A = 3 81

Domain and Range of Sine Function

Given an angle A in standard position, and (x,y) a point


on the terminal side a distance of r > 0 from the origin,
sin A = y/r
Domain of sine function is the set of all A for which y/r is
a real number. Since r cant be zero, y/r is always a real
number and domain is any angle
Range of sine function is the set of all y/r, but since y is
less than or equal to r, this ratio will always be equal to 1
or will be a proper fraction, positive or negative:

r y x, y
1 sin A 1
x

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-61


Domain and Range of Cosine Function

Given an angle A in standard position, and (x,y) a point


on the terminal side a distance of r > 0 from the origin,
cos A = x/r
Domain of cosine function is the set of all A for which x/r
is a real number. Since r cant be zero, x/r is always a
real number and domain is any angle
Range of cosine function is the set of all x/r, but since x
is less than or equal to r, this ratio will always be equal to
1, -1 or will be a proper fraction, positive or negative:

r y x, y
1 cos A 1

Domain and Range of Sine & Cosine

What relationship do you notice between the


domain and range of the sine and cosine
functions?
They are exactly the same:

Domain: Any Angle

Range: 1, 1

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-63


Domain and Range of Tangent Function

Given an angle A in standard position, and (x,y) a point on the


terminal side a distance of r > 0 from the origin, tan A = y/x
Domain of tangent function is the set of all A for which y/x is a real
number. Tangent will be undefined when x = 0, therefore domain is
all angles except for odd multiples of 90o
Range of tangent function is the set of all y/x, but since all of these
are possible: x=y, x<y, x>y, this ratio can be any positive or negative
real number:
tan A

r y x, y
x

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-64


Domain and Range of Cosecant Function

Given an angle A in standard position, and (x,y) a point on the


terminal side a distance of r > 0 from the origin, csc A = r/y
Domain of cosecant function is the set of all A for which r/y is a real
number. Cosecant will be undefined when y = 0, therefore domain
is all angles except for integer multiples of 180o
Range of cosecant function is the reciprocal of the range of the sine
function. Reciprocals of numbers between -1 and 1 are:

csc A 1 or 1 csc A

r y x, y
x

Copyright 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1-65


Domain and Range of Secant Function

Given an angle A in standard position, and (x,y) a point on the


terminal side a distance of r > 0 from the origin, sec A = r/x
Domain of secant function is the set of all A for which r/x is a real
number. Secant will be undefined when x = 0, therefore domain is

Domain and Range of Cotangent Function

Given an angle A in standard position, and (x,y) a point on the


terminal side a distance of r > 0 from the origin, cot A = x/y
Domain of cotangent function is the set of all A for which x/y is a real
number. Cotangent will be undefined when y = 0, therefore domain
is all angles except for integer multiples of 180o
Range of cotangent function is the reciprocal of the range of the
tangent function. The reciprocal of the set of numbers between
negative infinity and positive infinity is:
cot A

r y x, y
x

Ranges of Trigonometric Functions

For any angle for which the indicated functions


exist:
1 sin 1 and 1 cos 1
tan and cot can equal any real number;
sec 1 or sec 1
csc 1 or csc 1.
(Notice that sec and csc are never between
1 and 1.)

Using Identities to Find Missing Function
Values
Given the quadrant of the angle and the value of
one trig function, the other five trig function
values can be found using various identities
Examples that follow will illustrate the approach

Example: Other Function Values

Find sin and cos given that tan = 4/3 and


is in quadrant III.

Since is in quadrant III, sin and cos will


both be negative.
Why can' t we use the quotient identity t o say :
sin
tan to say that sin 4 and cos 3?
cos
sin and cos must be in the interval [1, 1].

Solving Trigonometric Equations

In algebra there are many types of equations that involve


a variable that are either true or false depending on the
value of the variable
x 3 7
This equation is true only if x = 10, so we say that 10 is
the solution to the equation
In trig we likewise have many types of equations that
involve a variable representing an unknown angle that
are true or false depending on the value of the variable
sin 2 10

csc 50
In this course we will develop methods for solving
various types of trigonometric equations

Using Identities to Find a Value of an Angle
that Solves a Trigonometric Equation
Given a trigonometric equation with an unknown
angle, one solution (not all) can be found by
using identities to convert both sides to the same
trig function and then setting the unknown
angles equal to each other as shown in the
following example:

Find One Solution:

sin 2 10
1
csc 50
Use a reciprocal identity on the right side :
sin 2 10 sin 50

Although t here are other ways this can be true, one way is
when the angle on the left is the same as the one on the right :
2 10 50

Later in the course we will develop methods for finding all solutions to trigonome tric equations
