  1. Appendix D: Trigonometry Review

  2. c b θ a A triangle in which one angle is a right angle is called a right triangle. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, and the remaining two sides are called the legs of the triangle.

  4. c b θ a Six Trigonometric Ratios

  5. c b θ a Six Trigonometric Ratios

  6. 13 12 Example: Find the value of each of the six trigonometric functions of the angle θ. c = Hypotenuse = 13 a = Adjacent = 12 a2 + b2 = c2 122 + b2 = 132 b2 = 132 - 122 b = 5

  7. 13 12 a = Adjacent = 12 b = Opposite = 5 c = Hypotenuse = 13

  8. Reciprocal Identities Quotient Identities

  9. The inverse (or arc) trigonometric functions will return an angle for a given real number.

  10. Use your calculator to evaluate the following. Explain the relationship between the two sets of numbers. (d) Why doesn’t this relationship hold for

  11. Trigonometric Functions We know that angles (either in degrees or radians) are essentially real numbers (any number you can think of). Therefore, the trigonometric ratios can be thought of as functions where the input is the angle (any real number). f(x) = cos x Notes: If a degree symbol appears on the angle measurement, it is given in degrees. If nothing appears after the angle measurement, it is given in radians. Be sure to set your calculator to the appropriate mode.

  12. Coordinates of Points Determine a and b as functions of x. • P(a, b) r b x a

  13. Trigonometric Functions • The triangle formed by dropping a perpendicular line from the terminal side of an angle to the closest side of the x-axis is called a reference triangle. • We will not use x and y to reference the point P. The variable x is reserved angle measurements. • It is very important to include the sign with the values of a and b when labeling your reference triangle. This will assure that the values of the six trigonometric ratios are correct.

  14. c b θ a Pythagorean Identities

  15. Other Identities • Many more trigonometric identities can be found on page A29 of your text. These identities may be used in this and further calculus classes.
