1 2.3 Evaluating Trigonometric Functions for any Angle JMerrill, 2009

2 Review from 2.2 Find the exact values of the other five trig functions for an angle θ in standard position, given 270 o 360 o 13 -5 12 θ

3 Positive Trig Function Values r r r r x-x y y -y ALL STUDENTS TAKE CALCULUS All functions are positive Sine and its reciprocal are positive Tangent and its reciprocal are positive Cosine and its reciprocal are positive

4 Positive, Negative or Zero? sin 240° Negative cos 300 o Positive tan 225 o Positive

5 Determine the Quadrant In which quadrant is θ if cos θ and tan θ have the same sign? Quadrants I and II

6 Determine the Quadrant In which quadrant is θ if cos θ is negative and sin θ is positive? Quadrant II

7 Determine the Quadrant In which quadrant is θ if cot θ and sec θ have opposite signs? Quadrants III and IV

8 Using the Sign If and lies in Quadrant III, find sin and tan 2 θ -√3 θθθ

9 Ranges of Trigonometric Functions We know that If the measure of increases toward 90 o, then y increases The value of y approaches r, and they are equal when So, y cannot be greater than r. Using the convenient point (0,1) y can never be greater than 1. x y r

10 Ranges Continued Using a similar approach, we get:

11 Determining if a Value is Within the Range Evaluate (calculator) (not possible) (not possible)

12 Reference Angles Reference Angle: the smallest positive acute angle determined by the x-axis and the terminal side of θ ref angle Think of the reference angle as a “distance”—how close you are to the closest x-axis.

13 Find Reference Angle 150° 30° 225° 45° 300° 60°

14 Using Reference Angles a) sin 330° = = - sin 30° = - 1/2 b) cos 120° = = - cos 60° = - ½

15 Using Reference Angles c) sin (-120°)= = - sin 60° d)Find the exact value of tan 495 o To find the correct quadrant, find the smallest positive coterminal angle. 495 o - 360 o = 135 o tan 495 o = tan 135 o. 135 o i s in Quad. II where tangent is negative. T he reference angle = 45 o tan 495 o = - tan 45 o = -1

16 Finding Exact Measures of Angles Find all values of Sine is negative in QIII and QIV Using the 30-60-90 values we found earlier, we know

17 Finding Exact Measures of Angles – Cont. Our reference angle is 60 o. We must be 60 o off of the closest x-axis in QIII and QIV.

18 Approximating Approximate the value of 1. Ignore the negative and do 2. The answer is the reference angle, which we will round to 39 o 3. Sine is negative in QIII and QIV 4. 219 o and 321 o

19 Approximate the value of 1. 2. The answer is the reference angle, which we will round to 39 o 3. Sine is positive in QI and QII 4. 39 o and 141 o

20 You Do Find all values of 122 o and 238 o Reference angle is 58 o
