6.3 / 6.4 - Radian Measure and the Unit Circle
Vocab: Angle: Determined by rotating a ray about its endpoint. Terminal Side Vertex Initial Side
2
Angle Coordinate System
+ x Standard Position -
3
When arc length = radius, we have one radian
Definition of a Radian y arc length = s x radius = r When arc length = radius, we have one radian (When s = r)
4
Radian Measure Radian value of an angle = Circumference of a circle = 2r Radian measurement of a full circle = Radians are unit-less (no symbol)
5
Radian Landmarks y 0 and 2 x
6
Radian Landmarks y 0 and 2 x
7
Other angles less than 90
8
Coterminal addition and subtraction
Ex: Find an angle that is coterminal to A
9
Complementary & Supplementary Angles
Complementary = 2 angles adding to… 900 Supplementary = 2 angles adding to… 1800
10
Weird Angles ex: Find complement and supplement… For complement, subtract FROM For supplement, subtract FROM
11
Degree / Radian Conversion
To convert radians into degrees, multiply by ex: To convert degrees into radians, multiply by ex: 3000
12
Arc Length An arc with central angle measure radians has length: where r is the radius length of the angle. ex: The second hand on a clock is 6 in. long. How far does the tip of the second hand move in 15 seconds? 15 seconds is 1/4th of a circle… 90o 90o = /2 radians
13
ex: Find the central angle measure (in radians) of an arc of
length 5cm on a circle of radius 3cm…. = 5/3 radians Linear and Angular Speed Avg speed of a moving object = Distance Time Arc Length Time = Linear Speed = r * angular speed Angle Time = Angular Speed
14
ex: A merry-go-round makes 8 revolutions per minute.
a) What is the angular speed of the MGR in radians per min? b) How fast is a horse 12 feet from the center traveling? c) How fast is a horse 4 feet from the center traveling? 8 revolutions = 2(8) = 16radians per min Linear speed = r * angular speed --> r = 12, angular speed = 16 radians/min (from a) 12(16) = 192 ft/min c) r = 4, angular speed = 16 radians/min 4(16) = 64 ft/min
15
The Radian Number Line p / 4 p / 2 p 2p 2p p / 4 p / 2 p 2p p / 4
p / 4 p / 2 p 2p 2p p / 4 p / 2 p 2p p / 4 p / 2 p 2p p / 4 p / 2 p

A circle with radius “1” y x2 + y2 = 1 (0, 1) t (-x, y) t (x, y) y y (-1, 0) (1, 0) x -x x -y -y t (-x, -y) t (x, -y) (0, -1)

For any arc length ‘t’, having coordinates (x, y) on the Unit Circle:
The Six Trigonometric Functions “Reciprocal Functions” Sine (sin) Cosine (cos) Tangent (tan) Cosecant (csc) Secant (sec) Cotangent (cot) For any arc length ‘t’, having coordinates (x, y) on the Unit Circle: 1 sin t = y csc t = y 1 cos t = x sec t = x t (x, y) y x tan t = cot t = x y

21
Periodic Functions A function is periodic if there exists a positive real number such that: for all t in the domain of f. The least number c for which f is periodic is called the ‘period’ of f. ex: sin sin also = sin
22

Domain and Range of Sine and Cosine
24
Trig functions of any angle
(x, y) q r y x Things to understand r is always positive (sum of squares) r cannot be equal to 0 sin & cos are defined for any angle
25
ex: Let (-3, 4) be a point on the terminal side of
ex: Let (-3, 4) be a point on the terminal side of . Find sin, cos and tan of . sub-in x, y and r Signs by Quadrant sin + All + (backwards Z) tan + cos +
26
ex: Given and find sin and sec … Which variable in the tangent value is negative?… x? or y?… Clue: Where is the cosine function positive? Cosine is positive in quadrant I (doesn’t work for us in this case…) and quadrant IV. Q(IV) means that the y-value has to be the negative… so…
27
‘Quadrant’ Angles (0, 1) (use unit circle coordinates) (-1, 0)
(1, 0) (0, -1) A
28
Reference Angle The acute angle ’ formed by the terminal side of and the horizontal (x) axis. ex:

Using reference angles to evaluate non-acute angles
