HW: Worksheet Aim: What are the reciprocal functions and cofunction? AB = 17 and BC = 15. Do Now: In A Find B C c) d) a) AC b) 2) Find the reciprocal of a) b) c) HW: Worksheet
1) a) AC = 8, b) = 15/17 c) = 8/17 d) = 15/8 2) a) rec. of = 17/15 b) rec. of = 17/8 c) rec. of = 8/15 When we write the reciprocal of sine, cosine and tangent, we get 3 other functions – the reciprocal functions. We have names for those three reciprocal functions

Given ΔABC, mB = 30, find the values of a) sin B b) cos A 2 1 30 B Then sin30 = cos60 C That is sin30 = cos (90 – 30) In general, sin A = cos (90 – A) or cos A = sin (90 – A) The sine of an acute angle is equal to the cosine of its complement. The sine and cosine are cofunctions
tan A = cot (90 – A) cot A = tan (90 – A) sec A = csc (90 – A) csc A = sec (90 – A) tangent and cotangent are cofunctions secant and cosecant are cofunctions In all three pairs of cofunctions, the angles are complementary angles.
Relationship of all trig functions reciprocal cofunctions cofunctions & reciprocal reciprocal cofunctions
