4.1 Angles & Radian Measure
• Objectives
– Recognize & use the vocabulary of angles
– Use degree measure
– Use radian measure
– Convert between degrees & radians
– Draw angles in standard position
– Find coterminal angles
– Find the length of a circular arc
– Use linear & angular speed to describe motion on a
circular path
Angles
• An angle is formed when two rays have a
common endpt.
• Standard position: one ray lies along the xaxis extending toward the right
• Positive angles measure counterclockwise
from the x-axis
• Negative angles measure clockwise from
the x-axis
Angle Measure
• Degrees: full circle = 360 degrees
– Half-circle = 180 degrees
– Right angle = 90 degrees
Radians: one radian is the measure of the central
angle that intercepts an arc equal in length to the
length of the radius (we can construct an angle
of measure = 1 radian!)
Full circle = 2  radians
Half circle =
radians


Right angle = 2 radians
Radian Measure
• The measure of the angle in radians is the ratio of the
arc length to the radius
s

r
• Recall half circle = 180 degrees= radians
• This provides a conversion factor. If they are equal,
their ratio=1, so we can convert from radians to
degrees (or vice versa) by multiplying by this “wellchosen one.”
• Example: convert 270 degrees to radians

Convert 145 degrees to radians.
Coterminal angles
• Angles that have rays at the same spot.
• Angle may be positive or negative (move
counterclockwise or clockwise) (i.e. 70
degree angle coterminal to -290 degree
angle)
• Angle may go around the circle more than
once (i.e. 30 degree angle coterminal to
390 degree angle)
Find the complement and supplement
of these angles in degrees and radians.

Converting degree to decimals.
• Write down the angle value in the degreeminute-second form. For example, the
angle is 27 degrees, 12 minutes and 45
seconds.
• Divide the minutes by 60
• Divide the seconds by 3,600
• Then add them
• You will get 27.2125
Converting decimal to degrees
• The whole units of degrees will remain the same
(i.e. in 121.135° longitude, start with 121°).
• Multiply the decimal by 60 (i.e. .135 * 60 = 8.1).
• The whole number becomes the minutes (8').
• Take the remaining decimal and multiply by 60.
(i.e. .1 * 60 = 6).
• The resulting number becomes the seconds (6").
Seconds can remain as a decimal.Take your
three sets of numbers and put them together,
using the symbols for degrees (°), minutes (‘),
and seconds (") (i.e. 121°8'6" longitude)

Arc length
• Since radians are defined as the central
angle created when the arc length = radius
length for any given circle, it makes sense to
consider arc length when angle is measured
in radians
• Recall theta (in radians) is the ratio of arc
length to radius
• Arc length = radius x theta (in radians)
s  r
Linear speed & Angular speed
• Speed a particle moves along an arc of the circle
(v) is the linear speed (distance, s, per unit time, t)
s
v
t
• Speed which the angle is changing as a particle
moves along an arc of the circle is the angular
speed.(angle measure in radians, per unit time, t)

Relationship between linear speed
& angular speed
• Linear speed is the product of radius and angular
speed.
v  r 
• Example: The minute hand of a clock is 6 inches
long. How fast is the tip of the hand moving?

4.2 Trigonometric Functions: The
Unit Circle
• Objectives
– Use a unit circle to define trigonometric
functions of real numbers
– Recognize the domain & range of sine &
cosine
– Find exact values of the trig. functions at pi/4
– Use even & odd trigonometric functions
– Recognize & use fundamental identities
– Use periodic properties
– Evaluate trig. functions with a calculator
What is the unit circle?
• A circle with radius = 1 unit
• Why are we interested in this circle? It provides
convenient (x,y) values as we work our way around
the circle.
• (1,0), theta = 0
• (0,1), theta = pi/2
• (-1,0), theta = pi
• (0,-1), theta = 3 pi/2
• ALSO, any (x,y) point on the circle would be at the
end of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that
2
2
extends from the origin, such that x  y  1
sin t and cos t
• For any point (x,y) found on the unit circle,
x=cos t and y=sin t
• t = any real number, corresponding to the
arc length of the unit circle
• Example: at the point (1,0), the cos t = 1
and sin t = 0. What is t? t is the arc length
at that point AND since it’s a unit circle, we
know the arc length = central angle, in
radians. THUS, cos (0) = 1 and sin (0)=0

•
sin t = 12/13 (reciprocal)
cos t = 5/13 (Pythagorean)
sec t = 13/5 (reciprocal)
tan t = 12/5 (sin(t)/cos(t))
cot t = 5/12 (reciprocal)
Trig. functions are periodic
• sin(t) and cos(t) are the (x,y) coordinates
around the unit circle and the values repeat
every time a full circle is completed
• Thus the period of both sin(t) and cos(t) = 2
pi
• sin(t)=sin(2pi + t)
cos(t)=cos(2pi + t)
• Since tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t), we find the
values repeat (become periodic) after pi,
thus tan(t)=tan(pi + t)

– Use equal cofunctions of complements
– Use right triangle trig. to solve applied
problems
Within a unit circle, and right
triangle can be sketched
• The point on the circle is (x,y) and the
hypotenuse = 1. Therefore, the x-value is
the horizontal leg and the y-value is the
vertical leg of the right triangle formed.
• cos(t)=x which equals x/1, therefore the
cos (t)=horizontal leg/hypotenuse =
adjacent leg/hypotense
• sin(t)=y which equals y/1, therefore the
sin(t) = vertical leg/hypotenuse = opposite
leg/hypotenuse
The relationships holds true for ALL
right triangles (other 3 trig.
functions are found as reciprocals)

the angles in a right triangle.

Special Triangles
• 30-60 right triangle, ratio of sides of the triangle is
1:2: 3, 2 (longest) is the length of the
hypotenuse, the shortest side (opposite the 30
degree angle) is 1 and the remaining side
(opposite the 60 degree angle) is 3
• 45-45 right triangle: The 2 legs are the same
length since the angles opposite them are equal,
thus 1:1. Using pythagorean theorem, the
remaining side, the hypotenuse, is 2
Cofunction Identities
• Cofunctions are those that are the reciprocal
functions (cofunction of tan is cot, cofunction of
sin is cos, cofunction of sec is csc)
• For an acute angle, A, of a right triangle, the side
opposite A would be the side adjacent to the other
acute angle, B
• Therefore sin A = cos B
• Since A & B are the acute angles of a right
triangle, their sum = 90 degrees, thus B= 90  A
• function(A)=cofunction (90  A)
4.4 Trigonometric Functions of Any
Angle
• Objectives
– Use the definitions of trigonometric
functions of any angle
– Use the signs of the trigonometric
functions
– Find reference angles
– Use reference angles to evaluate
trigonometric functions
Trigonometric functions of Any
Angle
• Previously, we looked at the 6 trig.
functions of angles in a right triangle.
These angles are all acute. What about
negative angles? What about obtuse
angles?
• These angles exist, particularly as we
consider moving around a circle
• At any point on the circle, we can drop a
vertical line to the x-axis and create a
triangle. Horizontal side = x, vertical
side=y, hypotenuse=r.
Trigonometric Functions of Any
Angle (continued)
• If, for example, you have an angle whose
terminal side is in the 3rd quadrant, then the x
& y values are both negative. The radius, r, is
always a positive value.
• Given a point (-3,-4), find the 6 trig. functions
associated with the angle formed by the ray
containing this point.

Example continued
• sin A = -4/5, cos A = -3/5, tan A = 4/3
• csc A = -5/4, sec A = -5/3, cot A = ¾
• Notice that the same values of the trig.
functions for angle A would be true for the
angles 360+A, A-360 (negative values)
Examining the 4 quadrants
• Quadrant I: x & y are positive
– all 6 trig. functions are positive
• Quadrant II: x negative, y positive
– positive: sin, csc
negative: cos, sec, tan, cot
• Quadrant III: x negative, y negative
– positive: tan, cot
negative: sin, csc, cos, sec
• Quadrant IV: x positive, y negative
– positive: cos, sec
negative: sin, csc, cot, tan
Reference angles
• Angles in all quadrants can be related to a
“reference” angle in the 1st quadrant
• If angle A is in quadrant II, it’s related
angle in quad I is 180-A. The numerical
values of the 6 trig. functions will be the
same, except the x (cos, sec, tan, cot) will
all be negative
• If angle A is in quad III, it’s related angle in
quad I is 180+A. Now x & y are both neg,
so sin, csc, cos, sec are all negative.
Reference angles cont.
• If angle A is in quad IV, the reference
angle is 360-A. The y value is negative,
so the sin, csc, tan & cot are all negative.
Special angles
• We often work with the “special angles” of the
“special triangles.” It’s good to remember them
both in radians & degrees

Amplitude & Period
• The amplitude of sin x & cos
x is 1. The greatest distance
the curves rise & fall from the
axis is 1.
• The period of both functions
is 2 pi. This is the distance
around the unit circle.
• Can we change amplitude?
Yes, if the function value (y)
is multiplied by a constant,
that is the NEW amplitude,
example: y = 3 sin x
Amplitude & Period (cont)
• Can we change the
period? Yes, the
length of the period is
a function of the xvalue.
• Example: y = sin(3x)
– The amplitude is still 1.
(Range: [-1,1])
– Period is 2

Phase Shift
• The graph of y=sin x is
“shifted” left or right of
the original graph

4.7 Inverse Trigonometric
Functions
• Objectives
– Understand the use the inverse sine function
– Understand and use the inverse cosine function
– Understand and use the inverse tangent function
– Use a calculator to evaluate inverse trig. functions
– Find exact values of composite functions with
inverse trigonometric functions
What is the inverse sin of x?
•
•
•
•
It is the ANGLE (or real #) that has a sin value of x.
Example: the inverse sin of ½ is pi/6 (arcsin ½ = pi/6)
Why? Because the sin(pi/6)= ½
Shorthand notation for inverse sin of x is arcsin x or
sin
1
x
• Recall that there are MANY angles that would have a
sin value of ½. We want to be consistent and specific
about WHICH angle we’re referring to, so we limit the
range to    ,  
(quad I & IV)

Find the domain of y = sin
1
x
• The domain of any function becomes the range of
its inverse, and the range of a function becomes
the domain of its inverse.
• Range of y = sin x is [-1,1], therefore the domain of
the inverse sin (arcsin x) function is [-1,1]
Trigonometric values for special
angles
• If you know sin(pi/2) = 1, you know the
inverse sin(1) = pi/2

The inverse cosine function
• The inverse cosine of x refers to the angle (or
number) that has a cosine of x
• Inverse cosine of x is represented as arccos(x)
or cos 1 x
• Example: arccos(1/2) = pi/3 because the
cos(pi/3) = ½
• Domain: [-1,1]
• Range: [0,pi] (quadrants I & II)
Graph y = arccos (x)
The inverse tangent function
• The inverse tangent of x refers to the angle (or
number) that has a tangent of x
• Inverse tangent of x is represented as arctan(x)
1
tan
x
or
• Example: arctan(1) = pi/4 because the
tan(pi/4)=1
• Domain: (all reals)
• Range: [-pi/2,pi/2] (quadrants I & IV)
Graph y = arctan(x)
Evaluating compositions of
functions & their inverses
• Recall: The composition of a function and its
inverse = x. (what the function does, its
inverse undoes)
• This is true for trig. functions & their
inverses, as well ( PROVIDED x is in the
range of the inverse trig. function)
• Example: arcsin(sin pi/6) = pi/6, BUT
arcsin(sin 5pi/6) = pi/6
• WHY? 5pi/6 is NOT in the range of arcsin x,
but the angle that has the same sin in the
appropriate range is pi/6
4.8 Applications of Trigonometric
Functions
• Objectives
– Solve a right triangle.
– Solve problems involving bearings.
– Model simple harmonic motion.
Solving a Right Triangle
• This means find the values of all angles and all side
lengths.
• Sum of angles = 180 degrees, and if one is a right
angle, the sum of the remaining angles is 90
degrees.
• All sides are related by the Pythagorean Theorem:
a b  c
2

• Using ratio definition of trig functions (sin x =
opposite/hypotenuse, tan x = opposite/adjacent, cos
x = adjacent/hypotenuse), one can find remaining
sides if only one side is given
Example: A right triangle has an
hypotenuse = 6 cm with an angle =
35 degrees. Solve the triangle.
•
•
•
•
•
cos(35 degrees) = .819 (using calculator)
cos(35 degrees) = adjacent/6 cm
Thus, .819 = adjacent/6 cm, adjacent = 4.9 cm
Remaining angle = 55 degrees
Remaining side:
a 2  (4.9) 2  6 2
a 2  36  24  12
a  12cm
Trigonometry & Bearings
• Bearings are used to describe position in
navigation and surveying. Positions are
described relative to a NORTH or SOUTH axis (yaxis). (Different than measuring from the
standard position, the positive x-axis.)
• N 55E means the direction is 55 degrees from
the north toward the east (in quadrant I)
• S 35W means the direction is 35 degrees from
the south toward the west (in quadrant III)
