Study Notes
Radian Measure
- Radian is a unit of angular measure where ( 2\pi ) radians equals ( 360° ).
- Conversion formulas for radians to degrees:
- ( \pi ) radians = ( 180° )
- ( \frac{\pi}{2} ) radians = ( 90° )
- ( \frac{\pi}{3} ) radians = ( 60° )
- ( \frac{\pi}{4} ) radians = ( 45° )
- ( \frac{3\pi}{2} ) radians = ( 270° )
Conversions
- To convert radians to degrees, multiply by ( \frac{180}{\pi} ).
- To convert degrees to radians, multiply by ( \frac{\pi}{180} ).
Trigonometric Values in Radians
-
For ( \frac{\pi}{6} ) (30°):
- ( \sin \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2} )
- ( \cos \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} )
- ( \tan \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} )
-
For ( \frac{\pi}{3} ) (60°):
- ( \sin \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} )
- ( \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2} )
- ( \tan \frac{\pi}{3} = \sqrt{3} )
-
For ( \frac{\pi}{4} ) (45°):
- ( \sin \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} )
- ( \cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} )
- ( \tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1 )
Arc Length
- Arc length formula: ( l = r\theta )
- ( l ) = arc length
- ( r ) = radius of the sector
- ( \theta ) = angle in radians
Area of Sectors
- Area of a sector formula: ( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta )
- Applies to both full and minor sectors.
Example Applications
- For problems involving arcs or sectors, identify the radius and angle to utilize the formulas for arc length and area effectively.
- Practice with sector problems, such as finding lengths of paths or perimeters involving triangles with angles in radians, to reinforce understanding.
Graph Sketching
- Understanding the shape and characteristics of the sine and cosine graphs is essential.
- Graphs will oscillate between -1 and 1, with specific key points at intervals defined by ( \pi ) and ( 2\pi ).
Practice Exercises
- Engage with exercises that involve converting units, determining exact trigonometric values, and solving for arc lengths and areas in various contexts to build proficiency.
