Lets quickly review
Examples Find 150 What Quadrant? Q II 1 1/2 Pull out Triangle 60 150 30 Draw down side to x-axis
What Happens if… If you land on an axis, there is no triangle. So instead of using sides of the triangle, use x, y and r. Unless otherwise specified, r = 1. Find sin π, cos π and tan π. What would csc be? (-1,0)
Examples 1. If
Examples Find the values of the six trig. functions of , if is an angle in standard position with the point (4 , 3) on its terminal ray.
