5.6 Angles and Radians (#1,2(a,c,e),5,7,15,17,21) 10/5/20151
2
Radian Measure To talk about trigonometric functions, it is helpful to move to a different system of angle measure, called radian measure. A radian is the measure of a central angle whose intercepted arc is equal in length to the radius of the circle. 10/5/20152
3
Radian Measure There are 2 radians in a full rotation -- once around the circle There are 360° in a full rotation To convert from degrees to radians or radians to degrees, use the proportion 10/5/20153
4
Sample Problems Find the degree measure equivalent of radians. 10/5/20154 Find the radian measure equivalent of 210°

5.7 Solving trigonometric Equatioins 10/5/2015 (# 5.7 Solving Trigonometric Equations (#3(a,b,c,e,g),4,8,9(a,b,c,d,e,h,i),11)
6
Trigonometric Identities An identity is an equation which is true for all values of the variable. There are many trig identities that are useful in changing the appearance of an expression. The most important ones should be committed to memory. 10/5/20156
7
Trigonometric Identities Reciprocal Identities 10/5/20157 Quotient Identities
8
Trigonometric Identities Cofunction Identities – The function of an angle = the cofunction of its complement. 10/5/20158
9
Trigonometric Identities Pythagorean Identities The fundamental Pythagorean identity 10/5/20159 Divide the first by sin 2 x Divide the first by cos 2 x
10
Solving Trig Equations Solve trigonometric equations by following these steps: – If there is more than one trig function, use identities to simplify – Let a variable represent the remaining function – Solve the equation for this new variable – Reinsert the trig function – Determine the argument which will produce the desired value 10/5/201510
11
Solving Trig Equations To solving trig equations: – Use identities to simplify – Let variable = trig function – Solve for new variable – Reinsert the trig function – Determine the argument 10/5/201511
12
Sample Problem Solve – Use the Pythagorean identity (cos 2 x = 1 - sin 2 x) – Distribute – Combine like terms – Order terms 10/5/201512
13
Sample Problem Solve – Use the Pythagorean identity (cos 2 x = 1 - sin 2 x) – Distribute – Combine like terms – Order terms 10/5/201513
14
Sample Problem Solve 10/5/201514 Let t = sin x Factor and solve.
15
Sample Problem Solve 10/5/201515 Replace t = sin x. t = sin(x) = ½ when t = sin(x) = 1 when So the solutions are
