6.3.1 Trigonometric Functions of Real Numbers
2
Radians vs. Real Numbers The argument of a trig function can be a real number, radians, or degrees. Sin(2) real number, radian, or degree? Sin(2 ) real number, radian, or degree? Note: sin(2) ≠ sin(2 )
3
Unit Circle The unit circle defines the trig functions in terms of the dependent variable If we consider time in radians as our x-values we can consider the yt plane (similar to xy plane except t values for x axis)
4
Functions defined P(x,y) on the unit circle sin(t) = y cos(t) = x tan(t) = csc(t) = sec(t) = cot(t) =
5
Since these functions are defined by a circle… On a circle 180 or half a circle or Produces a t-value of exact opposite value Similarly 360 or a whole circle or 2 Produces a t-value of the same value
6
This defines our functions as follows: P(t) = (x, y) P(t + ) = (-x, -y) P(t - ) = (-x, -y) P(-t) = (x, -y)
7
Find P(t + ), P(t - ), P(-t), and P(-t - ) Given,Since P(-t - ) = P(-(t + )) P(t) P(t + ), P(t - )P(-t) P(-t - )
8
Remember! P(x,y) = P(cos(t), sin(t)) Where t is the angle in radians
9
Find the Values of the Trigonometric Fucntions 10)a) - sin(- )= 0 cos(- )= -1 tan(- )= 0 csc(- )= U sec(- )= -1 cot(- )= U 0 (-1, 0) (2 )
10
You Try! 10)b) 6 sin(6 )= cos(6 )= tan(6 )= csc(6 )= sec(6 )= cot(6 )= 0 (2 )
