14 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-14 Reference Angles A reference angle for an angle  is the positive acute angle made by the terminal side of angle  and the x-axis.

15 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-15 Example: Find the reference angle for each angle. a) 218  Positive acute angle made by the terminal side of the angle and the x- axis is 218   180  = 38 . 1387 

16 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-16 Example: Finding Trigonometric Function Values of a Quadrant Angle Find the values of the trigonometric functions for 210 .

17 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-17 Finding Trigonometric Function Values for Any Nonquadrantal Angle  Step 1If  > 360 , or if  < 0 , then find a coterminal angle by adding or subtracting 360  as many times as needed to get an angle greater than 0  but less than 360 . Step 2Find the reference angle  '. Step 3Find the trigonometric function values for reference angle  '. Step 4Determine the correct signs for the values found in Step 3. (Use the table of signs in section 5.2, if necessary.) This gives the values of the trigonometric functions for angle .

19 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-19 Example: Evaluating an Expression with Function Values of Special Angles Evaluate cos 120  + 2 sin 2 60   tan 2 30 .

20 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-20 Example: Using Coterminal Angles Evaluate each function by first expressing the function in terms of an angle between 0  and 360 . cos 780 

22 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.3 Finding Trigonometric Function Values Using a Calculator

23 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-23 Function Values Using a Calculator Calculators are capable of finding trigonometric function values. When evaluating trigonometric functions of angles given in degrees, remember that the calculator must be set in degree mode. To check if your calculator is in degree mode enter sin 90. The answer should be 1. Remember that most calculator values of trigonometric functions are approximations.

25 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-25 Angle Measures Using a Calculator Graphing calculators have three inverse functions. If x is an appropriate number, then gives the measure of an angle whose sine, cosine, or tangent is x.

26 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-26 Example: Using Inverse Trigonometric Functions to Find Angles Use a calculator to find an angle in the interval that satisfies each condition.

From a given point on the ground, he finds the angle of elevation to the top of the Ferris wheel is 42.3. He then moves back 75 ft. From the second point, the angle of elevation to the top of the Ferris wheel is 25.4. Find the height of the Ferris wheel.
