Your Turn: • Complete problems 1 - 3
Sketching Negative Radians and/or Multiple Revolutions • Whenever the angle is less than 0 or more than 2 pi, solve for the coterminal angle between 0 and 2 pi • Sketch the coterminalangle
Your Turn: • Complete practice problems 4 – 7
Reminder: Special Right Triangles 30° – 60° – 90° 45° – 45° – 90° 45° 60° 30° 45°
Investigation! • Fit the paper triangles onto the picture below. The side with the * must be on the x-axis. Use the paper triangles to determine the coordinates of the three points.
Summarizing Questions • In which quadrants is tangent positive? Why? • In which quadrants is cosecant negative? Why? • How do I sketch negative angles? • How can I sketch angles with multiple revolutions? • What are some ways of remembering the radian measures of the Unit Circle? • How do we get the coordinates for π/6, π/4, and π/3?
Your Turn: • Use your unit circle to solve for the exact values of sine, cosine, and tangent of problems 8 – 11. Rationalize the denominator if necessary.
Reference Angles • Reference angles make it easier to find exact values of trig functions in the unit circle • Measure an angle’s distance from the x-axis
Reference Angles, cont. • Always • Coterminal • Acute (less than ) • Have one side on the x-axis
Solving for Reference Angles • Step 1: Calculate the coterminal angle if necessary (Remember, coterminal angles are positive and less than 2π.) • Step 2: Sketch either the given angle (if less than 2π) or the coterminal angle (if greater than 2π) • Step 3: Determine the angle’s distance from the x-axis (It is almost always pi/denominator!!!) This is the reference angle!!!!
Solving for Exact Trig Values • Step 1: Solve for the coterminal angle between 0 and 2π if necessary • Step 2: Solve for the reference angle (Note the quadrant) • Step 3: Identify the correct coordinates of the angle(Make sure the signs of the coordinates match the quadrant!) • Step 4: Solve for the correct trig ratio (Rationalize the denominator if necessary)
