1 Triangle Definition of sin and cos Then Consider the triangle ABC below. Let A be called. A HYP (hpotenuse) ADJ (side adjacent to the angle ) B C OPP (side opposite to the angle ) sin OPP HYP BC AB ADJ AC cos HYP AB. (SOH CAH TOA) MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

2 Special Angles (, 5, 6 ) Find sin 5 and cos 5. 5 s Pthagorean Theorem: s s, or s Hence s and s. 5 s Choosing s >, we have s, and so sin 5 cos MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

3 Eample: Find sin, cos, sin 6, and cos 6. Begin with a 6 9 right triangle with HYP =. s 6 t 6 Notice that when flipping the triangle down and consider the larger one, the result is an equilateral triangle, so the vertical side is also. This means t =, or s t, we have s, t. Now since MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

4 which means s s Again, it is clear that s >, which implies the triangle looks like: 6 So while sin cos, cos 6 sin 6. MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

5 Angles in Radian Measure How big is a radian? Here s how big: it s the angle corresponding to an arc length of in a unit circle. Look at the diagram below. A unit circle indicates that the radius = unit, and we ll alwas put the center at (,) for convenience. The angle as drawn is radian, because the arc length subtended (cut off) b the angle has length = unit. Length of the arc = unit radian (,) unit (,) MATH Lecture A 5 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

6 Relationship Between Degrees and Radians 6 radians rad = 6 57 rad = rad.7 rad 6 8. Eamples: a) Convert to radians. 8 radians 8. 6 Note: 5, 6 and 9. 5 b) Convert radians to degrees MATH Lecture A 6 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

7 You should commit to memor the following conversion chart since these angles will come up again and again. Degrees Radians 6 Consider the unit circle, centered at the origin, with an angle of radians, as shown below. (cos, sin ) (,) MATH Lecture A 7 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

8 (Notice that the angle is measured from the positive -ais, counterclockwise.) The dotted line defining the terminal side (end) of the angle intersects the circle at a point. As the angle changes, so do the coordinates of that point, so each of the coordinates is a function of the angle. These two functions are ver important, and so the have their own names. Definition: In the figure below, the first coordinate is called cos (short for cosine of ). The second coordinate is called sin ( short for sine of ). (cos, sin ) (,) MATH Lecture A 8 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

9 Remarks: a) Since this point is on the unit circle, its coordinates must satisf the equation of that circle:, that is (cos ) (sin ). b) To avoid the constant use of brackets, we write cos n to mean (cos ) n ; similarl, we write sin n to mean (sin ) n. Thus cos sin. c) Since the ccle repeats ever time we go around the circle, the sine and cosine functions are periodic with period. MATH Lecture A 9 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

12 Trig Values at Other Angles: Definition: Eample: Find Since An Obtuse angle is an angle greater than radians. sin and cos., the triangle in the figure below is the triangle shown previousl. Hence, and cos sin. 6 9, 6 (,) MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

13 Definition: A negative angle is an angle measured in the clockwise direction. Eample: Find sin and cos. Since 6 shown is again the shown above. Hence, sin, the triangle in the figure 6 9 triangle and cos. 6 (,) MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

14 Graphs of the sine and cosine functions (cos, sin ) sin (,) cos The second coordinate, sin, goes from to, and back down to, then back up to. Meanwhile, the first coordinate, goes from down to, and back to. cos, MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

15 Graphs of Sine and Cosine (Sinusoidal) Functions sin Notice how these graphs oscillate between and. Also, the length, or period, of one full ccle is. cos MATH Lecture A 5 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

16 Formal Definitions An function of the form sinusoidal. k sin( a ) C or k cos( a ) C is called The Amplitude of a sinusoidal graph is equal to one-half the distance from the top to the bottom of the waves, or the number k. The Period of a sinusoidal function is the distance for the graph to go through one full ccle. It is alwas P. a The Angular (Circular) Frequenc of a sinusoidal function, a, is the number of complete ccles in a horizontal distance of. The Linear Frequenc, f is the reciprocal of the a period, so that f. If represents time, then f has units of ccles per second. The Phase of a sinusoidal function is what point in its ccle it starts at, when =. It represents horizontal shifts in the sinusoidal function. The horizontal line = C, is called the center line about which the function oscillates. MATH Lecture A 6 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

17 Eample: The graph below is f ( ) sin. Its amplitude is k, (NOT the bigger number 5.) The circular frequenc is, the period is, and the frequenc is. The phase is, and the center line is = MATH Lecture A 7 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved.

22 Of course all this vertical amplitude scaling works for the cosine graph also. cos 5 cos cos MATH -5 Lecture A -5 of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved. 5 cos

23 Changes in Frequenc: Going from = sin or = cos, to sin ( a ) and cos( a ) involves horizontal scaling. This affects how man ccles appear over a given interval. As a rule: (a) If a is a positive integer, then the graph of sin ( a ) ( cos( a ) ) has a complete oscillations, or ccles, in the interval [, ]. For a positive, if a > this means more oscillations than = sin ( = cos ) and for < a <, one has less ccles than = sin ( = cos ). (b) If a <, the graph is reflected about the -ais, and then compressed or stretched depending upon the value of a. Note: sin ( a ) and a sin are NOT the same. Test it with a = and.

24 Eamples: Again, in all of these graphs sin is shown as a solid line. sin sin Period = Period = = sin ( /) Period = - MATH Lecture A of 5 Ronald Brent 6 All rights reserved. -
