Study Notes
Trigonometry in Class 10
-
Definition: Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles, especially right triangles.
-
Basic Trigonometric Ratios:
- Sine (sin) = Opposite side / Hypotenuse
- Cosine (cos) = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse
- Tangent (tan) = Opposite side / Adjacent side
- Cotangent (cot) = 1 / Tangent = Adjacent side / Opposite side
- Secant (sec) = 1 / Cosine = Hypotenuse / Adjacent side
- Cosecant (csc) = 1 / Sine = Hypotenuse / Opposite side
-
Important Angles:
- 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° with their corresponding values in radians and trigonometric ratios:
- sin(0°) = 0, sin(30°) = 1/2, sin(45°) = √2/2, sin(60°) = √3/2, sin(90°) = 1
- cos(0°) = 1, cos(30°) = √3/2, cos(45°) = √2/2, cos(60°) = 1/2, cos(90°) = 0
- tan(0°) = 0, tan(30°) = 1/√3, tan(45°) = 1, tan(60°) = √3, tan(90°) = undefined
- 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° with their corresponding values in radians and trigonometric ratios:
-
Trigonometric Identities:
- Pythagorean Identity: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
- Angle Sum and Difference Identities:
- sin(A ± B) = sinA cosB ± cosA sinB
- cos(A ± B) = cosA cosB ∓ sinA sinB
- tan(A ± B) = (tanA ± tanB) / (1 ∓ tanA tanB)
- Double Angle Formulas:
- sin(2A) = 2 sinA cosA
- cos(2A) = cos²A - sin²A
- tan(2A) = 2 tanA / (1 - tan²A)
-
Applications of Trigonometry:
- Calculating heights and distances (using the concept of angles of elevation and depression).
- Solving real-life problems involving triangles in various contexts.
-
Graphing Trigonometric Functions:
- Understanding the unit circle and its role in defining sine, cosine, and tangent.
- Characteristics of graphs (amplitude, period, phase shift) for sin(x) and cos(x).
-
Inverse Trigonometric Functions:
- Functions that reverse the trigonometric ratios, e.g., arcsin, arccos, arctan, etc.
- Domain and range of these functions.
-
Trigonometric Equations:
- Formulating and solving basic trigonometric equations using identities and algebraic methods.
-
Common Misconceptions:
- Confusing sine and cosine ratios, especially in non-right triangles.
- Failing to understand the restrictions on angles when working with inverse functions.
Trigonometry
- Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between angles and sides of triangles, particularly right triangles.
Basic Trigonometric Ratios
- Sine (sin): Opposite side / Hypotenuse
- Cosine (cos): Adjacent side / Hypotenuse
- Tangent (tan): Opposite side / Adjacent side
- Cotangent (cot): 1 / Tangent = Adjacent side / Opposite side
- Secant (sec): 1 / Cosine = Hypotenuse / Adjacent side
- Cosecant (csc): 1 / Sine = Hypotenuse / Opposite side
Important Angles
- 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° are important angles in trigonometry.
- These angles have specific values for their trigonometric ratios, which are often used in calculations.
- For example, sin(30°) = 1/2, cos(45°) = √2/2, and tan(60°) = √3.
Trigonometric Identities
- Pythagorean Identity: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
-
Angle Sum and Difference Identities:
- sin(A ± B) = sinA cosB ± cosA sinB
- cos(A ± B) = cosA cosB ∓ sinA sinB
- tan(A ± B) = (tanA ± tanB) / (1 ∓ tanA tanB)
-
Double Angle Formulas:
- sin(2A) = 2 sinA cosA
- cos(2A) = cos²A - sin²A
- tan(2A) = 2 tanA / (1 - tan²A)
