Notes
Introduction to the class - rules procedures, etc.
Introduction to angles in TrigonometryAny real number can be represented as an
angle. Be able to draw any angle and find 2 angles coterminal to it,
one positive, one negative whose measure is between -360 and 360.
The instructions fro problems 69 - 74 were
given in class. Draw the angle. Find the 6 trig functions and the angle.
sine = y/r cosine = x/r tangent
= y/x
cosecant = r/y secant = r/x
cotangent = x/y
To get r: use x2+ y2 = r2
To get the reference angle:
1. Check the mode. It should be in degrees
2. press 2nd and then your choice of sin, cos, or tan.
3. Then enter the positive of the y/r, x/r, or y/x
To get the angle:
1. In the first quadrant, do nothing the reference angle is the angle
2. In the second quadrant, subtract the reference angle from 180.
3. In the 3rd quadrant, add 180 to the reference angle.
4. In the 4th quadrant, subtract the reference angle from 360.
The only Pythagorean Triples I will use are:
3-4-5, 5-12-13, 8-15-17, and 7-24-25
Find the quadrant: I II III or IV
The largest number in each triple is the hypotenuse, r, and will always be
positive. The other two numbers are either x or y and they can be either
positive or negative depending on which quadrant the angle is in.
sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB
sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB
cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB
cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB
Quiz will cover drawing and labeling right
triangles and the
application problems demonstrated in class.
Remember:
one
of the sides of an angle of elevation
or depression is horizontal
Find all of the other 5 trig functions after finding
the reference angle, then finding and storing the actual angle
Reciprocal Functions Practice
Drawing and solving right triangles.
Angles of depression and elevation
Surveying problems - the height of a tree on a hill
Applications: the runway problem - p. 83 #26
approaching the mountain - p. 83 #23 - 25
Quiz on applications of right triangle trigonometry
The circle chart of # 75 is very important to future
work
There will be a quiz on the "special triangles"
and their relation to trigonometry. The directions will
read,
"Draw the angle and the reference triangle. Find
the 6 trig
ratios of the the angle in simplest fraction radical
form."
Find all 6 trig functions of the special
angles in simpl,est radical form
From a point on the terminal side draw to
the x axis NOT to the y axis.
Show all units in numerators and denominators.
Degrees to radians x p/108
Radians to degrees x 180/
p
Arc length =
radius x angle (in radians)
Linear velocity = angular velocity x radius
Just get them into the right units and multiply.

Sinusoidal Equations
y=a sin (bx) +d
or
y=a cos (bx) +d
|a| = amplitude, d = middle,
d + |a| = top,
d - |a| = bottom
b = frequency, the number of complete waves in 360 degrees
360/b = period, the length of each complete wave
When asked for one cycle of the function this is your Xmax.
When asked to graph "over 360", the Xmax will be 360 and you will see and graph b
waves.
Homework for weekend 4/4 - 4/6
1.) y = 5sin (3x) - 2 over 360 degrees, in degrees, find
2nd root
2.) y = -100cos (45x) + 25 over one cycle, in degrees,
find last root
3.) y = .2 cos (2x) - .05 over 360 degrees, in degrees, find 3rd
root
4.) y = -3000sin (.06x) +900 over one cycle, in degrees, find
1st root
Don't worry about the phase shift (horizontal shift). I'll teach that
later.
You can copy and print this if you run out of papers that I gave you in class.
Xmin = _____ Equation______________ in
____ over _____
amplitude =
____ frequency = ____ period = ____
Xmax = _____ middle
(vertical shift) = ______
Xscl = _____ top =
___ bottom = ____
Ymin = _____ phase

Ymax = _____
Yscl = _____
__________________________________
Everything is the same as for degrees except that to find the period divide 2p
by the frequency instead of 360.
Also make sure you put the calculator in radian mode before you hit graph.
