  2. Evaluating Trigonometric Functions Given a Point Let (3, – 4) be a point on the terminal side of an angle in standard position. Evaluate the six trigonometric functions of . 0 0 0 r=x2+y2 =32+(– 4)2 = 25 r (3, –4) SOLUTION Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of r. = 5

  4. TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS OF ANY ANGLE 0 0 ' 0 Let be an angle in standard position. Its reference angleis the acute angle (read thetaprime) formed by the terminal side of and the x-axis. The values of trigonometric functions of angles greater than 90° (or less than 0°) can be found using corresponding acuteangles called reference angles.

  8. Finding Reference Angles Find the reference angle for each angle . 0 0 0 0 0 5π = 320° = – 6 ' ' ' 0 0 0 Because 270°< < 360°, the reference angle is = 360° – 320° = 40°. Because is coterminal with and π < < , the reference angle is = – π = . 7π 7π 3π 6 6 2 7π π 6 6 SOLUTION

  11. Using Reference Angles to Evaluate Trigonometric Functions =30° =–210° 0 ' 0 ' 0 The reference angle is = 180° – 150° = 30°. 3 tan (– 210°) = – tan 30° = – 3 Evaluate tan (– 210°). SOLUTION The angle –210°is coterminal with 150°. The tangent function is negative in Quadrant II, so you can write:
