Study Notes
Trigonometric Functions Overview
- Trigonometric functions connect angles with side ratios in right triangles.
- Key functions include sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cosecant (csc), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot).
Basic Trigonometric Functions
- Sine (sin θ): Ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
- Cosine (cos θ): Ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
- Tangent (tan θ): Ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
- Cosecant (csc θ): Reciprocal of sine, expressed as 1/sin θ.
- Secant (sec θ): Reciprocal of cosine, expressed as 1/cos θ.
- Cotangent (cot θ): Reciprocal of tangent, expressed as 1/tan θ.
The Unit Circle
- Defined as a circle with a radius of 1, centered at (0,0).
- Any point on the unit circle can be represented as (cos θ, sin θ).
- Angles are measured in radians; 360° equals 2π radians.
Key Angles and Coordinates
- 0° (0): (1, 0)
- 30° (π/6): (√3/2, 1/2)
- 45° (π/4): (√2/2, √2/2)
- 60° (π/3): (1/2, √3/2)
- 90° (π/2): (0, 1)
- 180° (π): (-1, 0)
- 270° (3π/2): (0, -1)
- 360° (2π): (1, 0)
Graphing Trigonometric Functions
- Sine Wave: Starts at (0,0), ranges from -1 to 1, period of 2π.
- Cosine Wave: Starts at (0,1), ranges from -1 to 1, period of 2π.
- Tangent Function: Period of π, has vertical asymptotes where cos θ = 0.
Trigonometric Identities
-
Pythagorean Identities:
- sin² θ + cos² θ = 1
- 1 + tan² θ = sec² θ
- 1 + cot² θ = csc² θ
-
Reciprocal Identities:
- csc θ = 1/sin θ
- sec θ = 1/cos θ
- cot θ = 1/tan θ
-
Angle Sum and Difference Identities:
- sin(A ± B) = sin A cos B ± cos A sin B
- cos(A ± B) = cos A cos B ∓ sin A sin B
- tan(A ± B) = (tan A ± tan B) / (1 ∓ tan A tan B
Applications of Trigonometric Functions
- Used for solving triangles to find unknown sides and angles.
- Useful in modeling periodic phenomena such as sound waves.
- Essential in engineering and physics for solving problems involving angles and distances.
Inverse Trigonometric Functions
- Returns the angle for a given ratio.
- Notations include arcsin, arccos, arctan, and others.
- Each function has specific range and domain considerations.
Properties of Trigonometric Functions
- All trigonometric functions exhibit periodic behavior with defined periods.
- Functions show symmetry; cosine is even while sine is odd.
- Mastering these concepts is crucial for advanced studies in calculus and analytical geometry.
