How do you find sin(θ) if you know cos(θ) and the quadrant?
1. Use the identity $\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1$. 2. Solve for sin(θ). 3. Determine the sign of sin(θ) based on the given quadrant.
How do you find all angles θ where sin(θ) = a given value?
1. Find the principal angle θ in the range [-π/2, π/2]. 2. Find the other angle in [0, 2π] using symmetry. 3. Add 2πk to each to find all coterminal angles.
How do you determine the quadrant of an angle given its sine and cosine signs?
1. If sin(θ) > 0 and cos(θ) > 0, the angle is in Quadrant I. 2. If sin(θ) > 0 and cos(θ) < 0, the angle is in Quadrant II. 3. If sin(θ) < 0 and cos(θ) < 0, the angle is in Quadrant III. 4. If sin(θ) < 0 and cos(θ) > 0, the angle is in Quadrant IV.
How to find the reference angle for a given angle?
1. If angle is in QI, reference angle = angle. 2. If angle is in QII, reference angle = 180 - angle (in degrees) or π - angle (in radians). 3. If angle is in QIII, reference angle = angle - 180 (in degrees) or angle - π (in radians). 4. If angle is in QIV, reference angle = 360 - angle (in degrees) or 2π - angle (in radians).
How to solve for θ if tan(θ) = 1?
1. Recall tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ). 2. Find angles where sin(θ) and cos(θ) are equal. 3. Identify θ = π/4 and θ = 5π/4 as solutions in [0, 2π).
How do you find the value of sin(-θ)?
1. Recognize that sine is an odd function, so sin(-θ) = -sin(θ). 2. Find the value of sin(θ). 3. Change the sign to find sin(-θ).
How do you find the value of cos(-θ)?
1. Recognize that cosine is an even function, so cos(-θ) = cos(θ). 2. Find the value of cos(θ). 3. The value is the same.
If sin(θ) = 0.5, what are the possible values of θ in [0, 2π]?
1. Recognize sin(θ) = 0.5 corresponds to π/6. 2. Identify the second quadrant angle where sin(θ) is also 0.5, which is 5π/6.
How do you simplify trigonometric expressions using the unit circle?
1. Identify the angle on the unit circle. 2. Determine the sine, cosine, and tangent values for that angle. 3. Substitute these values into the expression and simplify.
How do you solve for θ if cos(θ) = -1?
1. Recall cos(θ) represents the x-coordinate on the unit circle. 2. Identify the angle where the x-coordinate is -1. 3. θ = π.
What is the unit circle?
A circle with a radius of 1, centered at the origin (0,0).
What is an angle in standard position?
An angle that starts from the positive x-axis and goes counterclockwise.
Define 'radians'.
A unit of angular measure equal to the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius.
Define 'terminal ray'.
A line from the origin at a given angle that intersects the unit circle.
Define sine (sin θ) in the context of the unit circle.
The y-coordinate of the point where the terminal ray intersects the unit circle.
Define cosine (cos θ) in the context of the unit circle.
The x-coordinate of the point where the terminal ray intersects the unit circle.
Define tangent (tan θ) in the context of the unit circle.
The ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate (sin θ / cos θ) of the point where the terminal ray intersects the unit circle.
What are reflex angles?
Angles greater than 180° but less than 360°.
What is a 'full rotation' in radians?
2π radians.
What is the ASTC rule?
A mnemonic to remember which trig functions are positive in each quadrant: All, Sine, Tangent, Cosine.
