Study Notes

Introduction to Trigonometry

  • Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between angles and sides of triangles.
  • It's heavily used in various fields such as navigation, engineering, physics, and computer graphics.
  • Fundamental concepts involve calculating angles and sides in right-angled triangles.

Trigonometric Ratios

  • The basic trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan).
  • These ratios relate an angle in a right-angled triangle to the ratio of two side lengths.
  • sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
  • cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
  • tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Other Trigonometric Functions

  • Cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant (csc) are reciprocal trigonometric functions.
  • cot θ = 1 / tan θ
  • sec θ = 1 / cos θ
  • csc θ = 1 / sin θ

Trigonometric Identities

  • Trigonometric identities are equalities involving trigonometric functions that hold true for all valid input values.
  • Examples include:
    • sin² θ + cos² θ = 1
    • tan² θ + 1 = sec² θ
    • cot² θ + 1 = csc² θ

Solving Right Triangles

  • Using trigonometric ratios, you can determine unknown side lengths and angles in a right triangle given sufficient information.
  • Given at least one side length and one acute angle, you can find other sides and angles.

Trigonometric Functions in General Triangles

  • Trigonometric functions can be extended beyond right triangles to general triangles using the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.

Law of Sines

  • The Law of Sines describes the relationship between the sides and angles of any triangle.
  • It states that in a triangle ABC: a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C, where a, b, and c represent the side lengths opposite angles A, B, and C respectively.
  • Useful for solving triangles when two angles and one side or two sides and an opposite angle are known.

Law of Cosines

  • The Law of Cosines relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of its angles.
  • It states that c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C, where a, b, and c are the side lengths and C is the angle opposite side c.
  • Necessary for finding unknown sides or angles when two sides and the included angle or three sides are known.

Graphs of Trigonometric Functions

  • The graphs of sine, cosine, and tangent functions are periodic, with repeating patterns.
  • Sine and cosine graphs have a sinusoidal shape, while the tangent graph has vertical asymptotes.
  • Understanding their periodicity and amplitude is important in analyzing their behaviour.

Applications of Trigonometry

  • Trigonometry finds application in various fields:
    • Surveying: Determining distances and angles in land measurements.
    • Navigation: Calculating distances and directions in sailing or aviation.
    • Engineering: Designing structures and calculating angles for structural stability.
    • Physics: Analyzing waves, motion, and projectile paths.

Unit Circle

  • The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin of a coordinate plane.
  • Points on the unit circle correspond to trigonometric function values for angles.
  • Each point on the unit circle represents an angle and the corresponding cosine and sine values.
