TRIGONOMETRY AND THE UNIT CIRCLE SEC. 10-4 LEQ: How can you use a unit circle to find trigonometric values?
2
Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Sine, cosine, and tangent can be defined for all real numbers In a right triangle, the two angles other than the right angle measure between 0° and 90° To define sines and cosines for all numbers, we use rotations with center (0, 0) Positive angles are measured counter-clockwise Negative angles are measured clockwise
3
Unit Circle The circle with center at the origin and radius 1 unit If the point (1, 0) on the circle is rotated around the origin with a magnitude θ, then the image point (x, y) is also on the circle The coordinates of the image point can be found using sines and cosines Which coordinate corresponds to sine? y coordinate The leg opposite the angle will be vertical Which coordinate corresponds to cosine? x coordinate The leg adjacent the angle will be horizontal (cos θ, sin θ )
4
For example What are the coordinates of the image of (1, 0) under R 60 ? R 60 (1, 0) = (cos 60, sin 60)
5
Rotations of More than 360° More than one complete revolution Example: Find cos 630° Remove the complete revolution 630 – 360 = 270 cos 630° = cos 270° cos 270° = 0 Find sin (-675°) Remove the complete revolutions -675 + 720 = 45 sin (-675°) = sin 45°
