7-3 Sine and Cosine (and Tangent) Functions 7-4 Evaluating Sine and Cosine
sin is an abbreviation for sine cos is an abbreviation for cosine tan is an abbreviation for tangent

Which of the following represents r in the figure below
Which of the following represents r in the figure below? (Click on the blue.) x P(x,y) r y Close. The Pythagorean Theorem would be a good beginning but you will still need to “get r alone.” You’re kidding right? (xy)/2 represents the area of the triangle! CORRECT!
3
Which of the following represents sin in the figure below
Which of the following represents sin in the figure below? (Click on the blue.) x P(x,y) r y Sorry. Does Some Old Hippy Caught Another Hippy Tripping on Acid sound familiar? y/x represents tan. Sorry. Does SohCahToa ring a bell? x/r represents cos. CORRECT! Well done.
4
Which of the following represents cos in the figure below
Which of the following represents cos in the figure below? (Click on the blue.) x P(x,y) r y CORRECT! Yeah! Oops! Try something else. Sorry. Wrong ratio.
5
Which of the following represents tan in the figure below
Which of the following represents tan in the figure below? (Click on the blue.) x P(x,y) r y CORRECT! Yeah! Try again. Try again.

In your notes, please copy this figure and the following three ratios:
x P(x,y) r y

A few key points to write in your notebook:
P(x,y) r x y A few key points to write in your notebook: P(x,y) can lie in any quadrant. Since the hypotenuse r, represents distance, the value of r is always positive. The equation x2 + y2 = r2 represents the equation of a circle with its center at the origin and a radius of length r. The trigonometric ratios still apply but you will need to pay attention to the +/– sign of each.

(–3,2) r –3 2 Example: If the terminal ray of an angle in standard position passes through (–3, 2), find sin and cos . You try this one in your notebook: If the terminal ray of an angle in standard position passes through (–3, –4), find sin and cos . Check Answer
9
Example: If is a fourth-quadrant angle and sin = –5/13, find cos .
Since is in quadrant IV, the coordinate signs will be (+x, –y), therefore x = +12.
10
Example: If is a second quadrant angle and cos = –7/25, find sin .

11
Determine the signs of sin , cos , and tan according to quadrant
Determine the signs of sin , cos , and tan according to quadrant. Quadrant II is completed for you. Repeat the process for quadrants I, III, and IV. Hint: r is always positive; look at the red P coordinate to determine the sign of x and y. P(–x,y) r y r x y P(x,y) x P(–x, –y) r x y P(x, –y) r x y
12
Check your answers according to the chart below:
All are positive in I. Only sine is positive in II. Only tangent is positive in III. Only cosine is positive in IV. y x All Sine Tangent Cosine

Find the reference angle. Determine the sign by noting the quadrant.
Let be an angle in standard position. The reference angle associated with is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of and the x-axis. y y P(–x,y) P(x,y) r r Find the reference angle. Determine the sign by noting the quadrant. Evaluate and apply the sign. x x y P(x, –y) r x y x r P(–x, –y)
15
Example: Find the reference angle for = 135.
Check Answer You try it: Find the reference angle for = 5/3. You try it: Find the reference angle for = 870. Check Answer
16
Give each of the following in terms of the cosine of a reference angle:
Example: cos 160 The angle =160 is in Quadrant II; cosine is negative in Quadrant II (refer back to All Students Take Calculus pneumonic). The reference angle in Quadrant II is as follows: =180 – or =180 – 160 = 20. Therefore: cos 160 = –cos 20 You try some: cos 182 cos (–100) cos 365 Check Answer Check Answer Check Answer
