FUCTIONS
Objectives:

• illustrate the different circular functions

• illustrate the unit circle and the relationship between the
linear and angular measures of a central angle in a unit
circle
• use reference angles to find exact values of circular
functions
Trigonometric Values of Special Angles
 TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS

There are six trigonometric ratios.

sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cot
angent.
These six trigonometric ratios are abbreviated as
 sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot.
