9.3 Evaluate Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle • How can you evaluate trigonometric functions of any angle? • What must always be true about the value of r? • Can a reference angle ever have a negative measure?
The angle –240° is coterminal with 120°. The reference angle is θ' = 180° – 120° = 60°. The tangent function is negative in Quadrant II, so you can write: a. 3 √ tan (–240°) = – tan 60° = – Evaluate (a) tan ( – 240°). SOLUTION 30º 60º

8. 15π 15π 4 4 The terminal side lies in Quadrant IV, so θ' = 2π – = π 4 Sketch the angle. Then find its reference angle.
√ 3 2 9. Evaluate cos ( – 210°) without using a calculator. – 210° is coterminal with 150°. The terminal side lies in Quadrant II, which means it will have a negative value. So, cos (– 210°) = – 30º 150º 30º 60º
sin 2θ d = v2 32 Robotics The “frogbot” is a robot designed for exploring rough terrain on other planets. It can jump at a 45° angle and with an initial speed of 16 feet per second. On Earth, the horizontal distance d(in feet) traveled by a projectile launched at an angle θ and with an initial speed v(in feet per second) is given by: How far can the frogbot jump on Earth?
162 sin (2 45°) d = 32 sin 2θ d = v2 32 SOLUTION Write model for horizontal distance. Substitute 16 for vand 45° for θ. = 8 Simplify. The frogbot can jump a horizontal distance of 8 feet on Earth.
A rock climber is using a rock climbing treadmill that is 10.5 feet long. The climber begins by lying horizontally on the treadmill, which is then rotated about its midpoint by 110° so that the rock climber is climbing towards the top. If the midpoint of the treadmill is 6 feet above the ground, how high above the ground is the top of the treadmill? y Substitute 110° for θ and = 5.25 for r. sin 110° = 5.25 10.5 sin θ = 2 4.9 y y r Rock climbing SOLUTION Use definition of sine. Solve for y. The top of the treadmill is about 6 + 4.9 = 10.9 feet above the ground.
