5. Angles in Standard Position
An angle is said to be in standard position if its initial side is along the positive x-axis and its vertex is at the origin.
Page 189
We say that an angle lies in the quadrant in which its terminal side lies.

6. Sketching Angles in Standard Positions
Sketching a 210º angle in the standard position yields this graph.
The initial side lies on the x-axis.
The positive angle indicates counterclockwise rotation.
180º represents a straight angle and the additional 30º yields a 210 º angle.
The terminal side lies in quadrant III.
Page 189

7. Coterminal angles
Two angles in standard position with the same terminal side are called coterminal angles. For example, -40º and 320º are coterminal angles. Moving 40º in clockwise direction brings the terminal side to the same position as moving 320º in the counter-clockwise direction.
Such angles may also be reached by going the same direction, such as 90º and 450º. 450º is reached by moving counterclockwise through the full 360º circle, then continuing another 90 º.
Page 193

8. Coterminal Angles
If you graph angles x = 30o and y = - 330o in standard position,
these angles will have the same terminal side. See figure below
Coterminal angles Ac to angle A may be obtained by adding or subtracting
k*360 degrees or k* (2π).
Hence Ac = A + k*360o if A is given in degrees. Or Ac = A + k*(2π) if A is given in radians;
where k is any negative or positive integer.

9. Your Turn: Measuring of Coterminal Angles
Determine the smallest possible measure of these angles:
580º
Solution: Subtract 360º to find the correct angle of 220º.
-400º
Solution: Add 360º to get -40º. Add 360º again to get the correct angle of 320º.

10. Common Angles in Standard Position
Standard Position:  An angle is in standard position if its vertex is located at the origin and one ray is on the positive x-axis.  The ray on the x-axis is called the initial side and the other ray is called the terminal side.  If the terminal side of an angle lies "on" the axes (such as 0º, 90º, 180º, 270º, 360º ), it is called a quadrantal angle.  The angle shown at the right is referred to as a Quadrant II angle since its terminal side lies in Quadrant II.
If Θ is an angle in standard position, and P is any point (other than the origin) on the terminal side of Θ, then we associate 3 numbers with the point P.
x: x-coordinate of the point P
y: y-coordinate of the point P
r : distance of the point from the origin

21. Using the Algebraic Sign of a Trigonometric Function
If cosθ = -3/5 and the terminal side of the angle lies in quadrant III, find sinθ.
cosθ = -3/5 means that the x value is negative, so x = -3 and r = 5.
Now we know that (-3)2 + y2 = 52.
y2 = 25 – 9 = 16, so y = ±4.
Since the angle is in quadrant III, y = -4.
sinθ = y/r = -4/5.
Page 222

22. Values of Quadrantal Trigonometric Functions
The values of the trigonometric functions for angles along the axes are undefined for some angles. For example, along the positive y-axis, the value of x is zero, making the value of the tangent undefined.
Page 223

23. Reference Triangle
A reference triangle is formed by "dropping" a perpendicular from the terminal ray of a standard position angle to the x-axis.   Remember, it must be drawn to the x-axis.
Reference triangles are used to find trigonometric values for their standard position angles.  They are of particular importance for standard position angles whose terminal sides reside in quadrants II, III and IV.  A reference triangle contains a reference angle.

Page 230

25. Reciprocal Identities
Since sinθ = y/r and cscθ = r/y, these two trigonometric functions are reciprocals of one another. Therefore, if y ≠ 0, then cscθ is defined.
Similarly, cosθ = x/r and secθ = r/x(defined if x ≠ 0) are reciprocal functions as are
tanθ = y/x (defined if x ≠ 0) and cotθ = x/y (defined if y ≠ 0) .
Page 241

26. Quotient Indentities Since tanθ = sinθ /cosθ and
cotθ = cosθ /sinθ, these two trigonometric functions are called quotient identities.
Therefore, if cosθ ≠ 0, then tanθ is defined
and if sinθ ≠ 0, then cotθ is defined.

27. Pythagorean Identities
When studying the unit circle, it was observed that a point on the unit circle (the vertex of the right triangle)
can be represented by the coordinates (cos Θ, sin Θ ). 
Since the legs of the right triangle in the unit circle have the values of cos Θ and sin Θ, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to obtain …. .
