    Study Notes

    Fundamentals of Trigonometry

    • Trigonometry is an important branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of triangles.
    • The word "trigonometry" is derived from three Greek words: "trei" (three), "goni" (angles), and "metron" (measurement).
    • Trigonometry is essential for studying calculus and is extensively used in various fields, including business, engineering, surveying, navigation, astronomy, physical, and social sciences.

    Sexagesimal System

    • The sexagesimal system is used to measure angles in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
    • One rotation (anti-clockwise) is equal to 360 degrees (360°).
    • A straight angle is equal to 180°, and a right angle is equal to 90°.

    Concept of an Angle

    • An angle is formed by two rays with a common starting point.
    • One of the rays is called the initial side, and the other is called the terminal side.
    • The angle is identified by showing the direction of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side.
    • Angles can be positive or negative, depending on whether the rotation is anti-clockwise or clockwise.

    Units of Measures of Angles

    • Angles are usually denoted by Greek letters such as α (alpha), β (beta), γ (gamma), θ (theta), etc.
    • The radian is a unit of measurement for angles.

    Trigonometric Functions

    • The sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle are trigonometric functions.
    • The sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle can be defined in terms of the ratios of the sides of a right triangle.
    • The trigonometric functions can be positive or negative, depending on the quadrant in which the angle lies.

    Quadrant Analysis

    • If the angle lies in Quadrant I, then the sine, cosine, and tangent are all positive.
    • If the angle lies in Quadrant II, then the sine is positive, and the cosine and tangent are negative.
    • If the angle lies in Quadrant III, then the sine and cosine are negative, and the tangent is positive.
    • If the angle lies in Quadrant IV, then the sine is negative, and the cosine and tangent are positive.
