1 Section 7-4 Evaluating and Graphing Sine and Cosine Objectives: To use the reference angles, calculators and tables and special angles to find the values to find the values of Sine and Cosine and graph their functions

2 Reference Angles Objective: Find the reference angle of a rotation and use it to find trigonometric function values Definition The reference angle for a rotation is the acute angle formed by the terminal side and the x-axis Ѳ = 115 o Reference angle = 180-115 = 65 o Terminal Side Ѳ = 225 o Reference angle = 225-180 = 45 o

3 Example 12 30 o 150 o 2 2 1 1 Reference Angle Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of 1320 o We can subtract multiples of 360 o We do this by 1320 by 360 and taking the larger part. Thus we subtract 3 multiples of 360. 1320 – 3(360) = 240 and 240 – 180 =60 180 o 60 o 1320 o or 240 o

4 Example 2 Express 695 o in terms of a reference angle 695 o - 360 o = 335 o The reference angle for 335 o I s 360 o - 335 o = 25 o And Since 695 o is in the fourth quarter then Sin 695 o = - Sin 25 o

5 (0,r) (-r,0) (0,-r) (r,0) 90 o 180 o 270 o Terminal Side on an Axis If the terminal side of an angle falls on an axis

6 Using Calculators or Tables The easiest way to find the sine or cosine of most angles is to use a scientific calculator. Always be sure to check whether the calc is in degree or radian mode. If you do not have a calculator you can use the table at the back of this book on page 800 Find the value of each expression to four decimal places. a. Sin 122 o b. Cos 237 o c. Cos 5 o d. Sin(-2)

7 Special Angles Objective: Find the length of sides in special triangles In a 45-45-90 right triangle the legs are the same length. Lets consider such a triangle whose legs have length 1. Then its hypotenuse has length c 1 1 When we split a square In half diagonally we create a 45-45-90 Right triangle.

8 A 30-60-90 Right Triangle When we split an equilateral triangle in half we create 2 30-60-90 right triangles. 2 2 1 1 30 o 60 o 30 o 1 2

9 Example : In this triangle find sinѲ, cos Ѳ, and tan Ѳ 5 3 4 Ѳ

10 Example 2: In ΔABC, b =40cm and <A = 60 o. What is the length of side c. 60 c b B AC

14 Graphs of Sine and Cosine To Graph the Sine Function plot the position of the function using the radian or degree value. 0o 0o 90 o 180 o 360 o 1

15 Period and Amplitude of Trig Functions Amplitude is range of Maximum and Minimum points on a graph So for function y = A SinBx Amplitude = |A| period

16 Try These Amplitude = |A| = |3| = 3 Period A = 3 and B= 2
