In Geometry we learned three trigonometric ratios made from the sides
of a right triangle. They are sine, cosine, and tangent.
We had an acronym to remember the ratios……

Next, we will learn three additional trigonometric ratios.
They are the reciprocals of sine, cosine, and tangent.

If we let the hypotenuse be 1, then sinΘ=y and cosΘ=x . Since the
hypotenuse is the radius of a unit circle, we consider it to be radius = r = 1.
Practice the six trig
functions for each of the
special angles looking at the
triangles above.
You can draw the appropriate triangle, with the reference angle in standard position,
having the radius = 1. Next, using your special right triangles skills, you can determine
the three basic trig functions: sin, cos, and tan, and then, their reciprocals.
If you know these trig functions, you will be able to determine the values in other
quadrants!
Name the six trig functions for each of the three reference triangles above.
Let this be a circle with radius one. Do you see the angles with a 30° reference angle
are indicated with a green dot, angles with a 45° reference angle are indicated with a
red dot, angles with a 60° reference angle are indicated with a blue dot, and
quadrantals are indicated with a pink dot.
Only sin and csc
are positive in
quadrant II
Only tan and cot
are positive in
quadrant III

All trig functions
are positive in
quadrant 1
Only cos and sec
are positive in
quadrant IV
Drawing the reference triangle in any of the four quadrants, will give the same numerical
answer for the trig functions, however the sign of the trig functions may be different. We can
use the saying, “All Students Take Calculus” to help remember the signs.
Now, let’s investigate the “quadrantals”.
When the terminal side of an angle Θ that is in standard position lies on
one of the coordinate axes, the angle is called a quadrantal angle. The
terminal sides of these angles would be located at the pink dots.
Since the coordinates of the pink dots will have 0 and 1, we need to remember the
division rules with 0.
Let’s practice…..
When you click the link below, adjust your screen so that you see the circle.
Practice the capabilities of the website, by following the directions and doing
some trial and error. When finished practicing, deselect the little boxes and
choose “quiz me”. Practice determining sine and cosine, before clicking the
flashing circle. Be sure to select other quadrants as well as the first quadrant.

Your hand can help you remember…..
Use the following finger tricks!
Hold your hand to remind you of the
special angles in the first quadrant.
Think of cosine on top and sine on the
bottom. Consider that for the three
specials angles, every answer will be a
radical value over two.
Here we go!
Fold your angle
finger back and
fill-in the
radicand with
the number of
fingers:
top for cosine
and bottom for
sine.
The basic trig functions that we have practiced will be used throughout all of PreCalculus
and also in Calculus. Therefore, it is important to know them as much as you know your
multiplication facts and other computations in mathematics.
Time yourself to complete the “Mat Activity”. Can you complete your “Mat” in
under 2 minutes? This knowledge will serve you well……
The mat is a set of trig functions to be placed in a sheet protector.
The solution square are cut-out squares to be placed randomly, face
up around the mat. The teacher will use a timer to have students
begin and put the appropriate answer square next to its problem.
This should be completed in under two minutes….
or
try again!
Play count down PowerPoint
to time the Mat Activity.
The next slide has the homework. It should be started in
class and finished at home.
