Review of Trigonometry Appendix D.3
After this lesson, you should be able to: work in radian measure find reference angles use and recreate the unit circle to find trig values of special angles recognize and sketch the graphs of sine, cosine and tangent use the Pythagorean trig identities and reciprocal identities to simplify trig expressions solve basic trig equations
Angles initial ray on x-axis terminal ray Standard position of an angle (0, 0) x acute angles angles between 0 and /2 radians obtuse angles angles between /2 and radians co-terminal angles angles that share the same terminal ray Ex: /2 and -3/2
Measuring Angles Positive angles measured counterclockwise Negative angles measured clockwise
Radian Measure Radian measure of a central angle in the unit circle is the length of the arc of the sector. The length of the sector r = 1 Unit circle r s = r circle with radius r Arc Length is
