Evaluating Sine and Cosine CAH SOH First we must Understand the Reference Angles

What is a Reference Angle? A reference angle is the positive acute angle formed by the terminal side of the angle and the x-axis. Terminal Side 125o 55o Reference Angle

Finding the Reference Angle Quadrant I In the first quadrant the angle is its own reference angle!

Quadrant II In the 2nd quadrant, the reference angle is the angle formed by the terminal side of the 120o angle and the x-axis. To find the reference angle measure: 180o – 120o. 180o – 1200 = 60o

Quadrant III In the 3rd quadrant, the reference angle is the angle formed by the terminal side of the 240o angle and the x-axis. To find the reference angle measure: 240o – 180o. 240o – 1800 = 60o

Quadrant IV To find the reference angle measure: 360o – 315o. In the 4th quadrant, the reference angle is the angle formed by the terminal side of the 315o angle and the x-axis. To find the reference angle measure: 360o – 315o. 360o – 3150 = 60o

Reference angles The acute angle 𝛼 is the reference angle for: 𝜃= 180 ∘ −𝛼 𝜃=180°+ α 𝜃=360−𝛼 And all their coterminal angles. The acute angle α is the reference angle for: θ=– α ; 𝜃= + α 𝜃=2 – α And all their coterminal angles.

Reference Angles 𝑄 𝐼𝐼: 180° − 𝛼 𝑄𝐼𝐼𝐼 180° +𝛼 𝑄𝐼𝑉: 360° −𝛼 In general, the acute angle  is the reference angle for the angles: 𝑄 𝐼𝐼: 180° − 𝛼 𝑄𝐼𝐼𝐼 180° +𝛼 𝑄𝐼𝑉: 360° −𝛼 as well as all coterminal angles. In other words, the reference angle for any angle θ is the acute positive angle  formed by the terminal ray of θ and the x-axis.

Remember:  The reference angle is measured from the terminal side of the original angle "to" the x-axis (not the y-axis).

More on Reference angles Consider angle 30°. Draw the line segments that represent sin 30° and cos 30°.

Can you find angle  whose terminal ray is in the 2nd quadrant such that : The reference angle is 30° How does sin 30° = compare to sin 150° ? How does cos 150° compares to cos 30° ?

Can you find angle  whose terminal ray is in 3rd quadrant such that : 30° is its reference angle. How does sin 210° compare to sin 30° ? How does cos 210° compare to cos 30° ?

4th quadrant: Find a 4th quadrant angle for which: 30° is its reference angle. How does sin 330° compare to sin 30° ? How does cos 330° compare to cos 30° ?

The important part of reference angles How does the value of: 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 (𝑜𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 ) compare to the 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛼 (or cos𝛼) if 𝛼 is the reference angle for 𝜃 ? Answer: they are equal! So knowing the value for one angle, gives you the value for many other angles.

What if the angle is bigger than 360o or 2π? Find an angle between 0o and 360o that is co-terminal. 695o – 360o = 335o To find the reference angle for 695o - Find the reference angle for 335o : 360o – 335o = 25o

The unit circle Now that we understand reference angles we can build the unit circle. We will determine the key values of 1st quadrant angles, and then use reference angles to determine the key values of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quadrants.

Graphing with the 5 key points 1 complete period of Sine or Cosine can be graphed using the 5 key points. For each specific equation, the horizontal spacing between each key point is constant. i.e. if it is 3 units between point 2 to point 3, then it is also 3 units between point 4 and point 5. For both sine and cosine, the 5 key points will always be; maximum values, minimum values, and points on the axis of the wave. (the middle) the axis of the wave for the parent graphs is the X-axis.

Latitude The latitude of a point on Earth is the degree measure of the shortest arc from that point to the equator. For example, the latitude of point P in the diagram equals the degree measure of arc PE.

How far is Rome (aka Roma) from the equator? The Latitude of Rome is approximately 42 N. The radius of earth is approximately 3963 miles The longitude of Barcelona is about 2 degrees East. Remember s=r where  is measured in radians.
