Recap: using C.A.S.T. 90° • This diagram tells us the angles where sin, cos and tan (and “all”) give positive results. • We measure anti-clockwise from 0° • EXAMPLE: 0° 180° • Solve in the interval • Find the principal value (you should know it… if not use with calculator in degree mode) 270° • Value of is positive so solutions are in • Draw acute angle in quadrant and label as • Mark in same acute angle with axis in
Recap: using C.A.S.T. 90° • This diagram tells us the angles where sin, cos and tan (and “all”) give positive results. • We measure anti-clockwise from 0° • EXAMPLE: 0° 180° • Solve in the interval • Find the principal value (you should know it… if not use with calculator in degree mode) 270° • Read off solutions (anti clockwise) • Find extra solutions between and • Solutions: • Value of is positive so solutions are in • Draw acute angle in quadrant and label as • Mark in same acute angle with axis in
Shift-setup “Rad” Status bar will show [R] C.A.S.T. using radians • Useful rules to remember • DEGREES: • RADIANS: 0 / • EXAMPLE • Solve in the interval • Draw CAST diagram and label in radians • Find the principal value (if you can’t remember, use with calcin radian mode) • Read off solutions (clockwise is negative) • Or…find positive solutions (always clockwise) and or to any solutions outside required range • Cos is positive so solutions are in , • Mark in this acute angle with axis in quadrants ,
