Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Unit Circle We defined radian measure to be When r = 1, The arc length s on a unit circle is the same as the radian measure of the angle .

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Reflections on a Unit Circle Let’s consider the radian measure π/3 and determine the coordinates of the point on the unit circle.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Reflections on a Unit Circle We have a 30º- 60º right triangle with hypotenuse 1 and side opposite 30º 1/2 the hypotenuse, or 1/2. This is the x-coordinate of the point. Let’s find the y-coordinate.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Graph of Cosine Function

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Domain and Range of Sine and Cosine Functions The domain of the sine function and the cosine function is (–∞, ∞). The range of the sine function and the cosine function is [–1, 1].

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Periodic Function A function with a repeating pattern is called periodic. The sine and cosine functions are periodic because they repeat themselves every 2π units. To see this another way, think of the part of the graph between 0 and 2π and note that the rest of the graph consists of copies of it. The sine and cosine functions each have a period of 2π. The period can be thought of as the length of the shortest recurring interval.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Periodic Function A function f is said to be periodic if there exists a positive constant p such that for all s in the domain of f. The smallest such positive number p is called the period of the function.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Amplitude The amplitude of a periodic function is defined to be one half the distance between its maximum and minimum function values. It is always positive. Both the graphs and the unit circle verify that the maximum value of the sine and cosine functions is 1, whereas the minimum value of each is –1.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Amplitude of the Sine Function the amplitude of the sine function

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Amplitude of the Cosine Function the amplitude of the cosine function

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Odd and Even Consider any real number s and its opposite, –s. These numbers determine points T and T 1.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Odd and Even Because their second coordinates are opposites of each other, we know that for any number s, Because their first coordinates are opposites of each other, we know that for any number s, The sine function is odd. The cosine function is even.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Graph of the Tangent Function Instead of a table, let’s begin with the definition and a few points on the unit circle.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Graph of the Tangent Function Tangent function is not defined when x, the first coordinate, is 0; that is, when cos s = 0: Draw vertical asymptotes at these locations.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Graph of the Tangent Function Note: Add these ordered pairs to the graph. Use a calculator to add some other points in (–π/2, π/2).

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Graph of the Tangent Function From the graph, we see that: Period is π. There is no amplitude (no maximum or minimum values). Domain is the set of all real numbers except (π/2) + kπ, where k is an integer. Range is the set of all real numbers.

Slide Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Graph of the Cotangent Function The cotangent function (cot s = cos s/sin s) is not defined when y, the second coordinate, is 0; that is, it is not defined for any number s whose sine is 0. Cotangent is not defined for s = 0, ±2π, ±3π, … The graph of the cotangent function is on the next slide.

The graph of the cosecant function can be constructed by finding the reciprocals of the values of the sine function. The cosecant function is not defined for those values of s whose sine is 0.
