1 Objectives: 1.To find trig values of an angle given any point on the terminal side of an angle 2.To find the acute reference angle of any angle

2 Recall that when using the unit circle to evaluate the value of a trig function, cos θ = x and sin θ = y. What we didn’t point out is that since the radius (hypotenuse) is 1, the trig values are really cos θ = x /1 and sin θ = y /1. So what if the radius (hypotenuse) is not 1?

3 Let θ be an angle whose terminal side contains the point (4, 3). Find sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ.

4 Realize that the triangle formed by the point (4, 3) is similar to a triangle in the unit circle. To get to that unit circle triangle, we would have to scale down the larger triangle by dividing by the scale factor. In this case, that’s 5, the length of the larger hypotenuse.

5 Let ( x, y ) be a point on the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position with

6 The previous definitions imply that tan θ and sec θ are not defined when x = 0. So what values of θ are we talking about? They also imply that cot θ and csc θ are not defined when y = 0. So what values of θ are we talking about?

7 Let θ be an angle whose terminal side contains the point (−2, 5). Find the six trig functions for θ.

8 We can find the sign of a particular trig function based on which quadrant ( x, y ) lies within.

9 Given sin θ = 4/5 and tan θ < 0, find cos θ and csc θ.

10 reference angle When building the unit circle, for 120° we drew a triangle with the x -axis to form a 60° angle. This 60° angle was the reference angle for 120°.

11 reference angle If we connect the trig of any angle to right triangle trigonometry, we need a reference angle that is acute to be able to evaluate the function.

12 reference angle Let θ be an angle in standard position. It’s reference angle is the acute angle θ ’ formed by the terminal side of θ and the x -axis.

14 Find the reference angle for each of the following. 1.213° 2.1.7 rad 3.−144°

15 When your angle is negative or is greater than one revolution, to find the reference angle, first find the positive coterminal angle between 0° and 360° or 0 and 2π.

16 How Reference Angles Work: Same except maybe a difference of sign.

17 To find the value of a trig function of any angle: 1.Find the trig value for the associated reference angle 2.Pick the correct sign depending on where the terminal side lies

18 Evaluate: 1.sin 5π/3 2.cos (−60°) 3.tan 11π/6

19 Let θ be an angle in Quadrant III such that sin θ = −5/13. Find a) sec θ and b) tan θ using trig identities.
