Study Notes
Polar Coordinates
- Essential representation of points in a plane using a distance from the origin and an angle.
- Points given include (1, 180°), which corresponds to (-1, 0) in Cartesian coordinates.
- Negative radius indicates a point at 180° but 1 unit away from the origin, found at (1, 5) and (-1, -1) as other examples.
Value of Trigonometric Functions
- Calculation of sine, cosine, and cotangent for specified angles.
- sin 19° represents the sine of a small acute angle.
- cos 1140° can be simplified by finding equivalent angles in standard range, ultimately relating to cos 900°.
- cot 25° gives the ratio of cosine to sine for 25°.
Proving Identities
- A variety of trigonometric identities showcasing relationships between functions.
- First identity demonstrates manipulation using the Pythagorean theorem.
- Fourth identity reflects the relationship between cotangent, tangent, and cosecant.
