1 Radian and Degree Measure What ou should learn Describe angles. Use radian measure. Use degree measure. Use angles to model and solve real-life problems. Wh ou should learn it You can use angles to model and solve real-life problems. For instance, in Eercise 08, ou are asked to use angles to find the speed of a biccle. Angles As derived from the Greek language, the word trigonometr means measurement of triangles. Initiall, trigonometr dealt with relationships among the sides and angles of triangles and was used in the development of astronom, navigation, and surveing. With the development of calculus and the phsical sciences in the 7th centur, a different perspective arose one that viewed the classic trigonometric relationships as functions with the set of real numbers as their domains. Consequentl, the applications of trigonometr epanded to include a vast number of phsical phenomena involving rotations and vibrations. These phenomena include sound waves, light ras, planetar orbits, vibrating strings, pendulums, and orbits of atomic particles. The approach in this tet incorporates both perspectives, starting with angles and their measure. Video. Video Verte Terminal side Initial side Terminal side Initial side. Angle Angle in Standard Position FIGURE FIGURE An angle is determined b rotating a ra (half-line) about its endpoint. The starting position of the ra is the initial side of the angle, and the position after rotation is the terminal side, as shown in Figure. The endpoint of the ra is the verte of the angle. This perception of an angle fits a coordinate sstem in which the origin is the verte and the initial side coincides with the positive -ais. Such an angle is in standard position, as shown in Figure. Positive angles are generated b counterclockwise rotation, and negative angles b clockwise rotation, as shown in Figure. Angles are labeled with Greek letters (alpha), (beta), and (theta), as well as uppercase letters A, B, and C. In Figure, note that angles and have the same initial and terminal sides. Such angles are coterminal. Positive angle (counterclockwise) Negative angle (clockwise) α β β α FIGURE FIGURE Coterminal Angles

2 Radian Measure r r s = r The measure of an angle is determined b the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. One wa to measure angles is in radians. This tpe of measure is especiall useful in calculus. To define a radian, ou can use a central angle of a circle, one whose verte is the center of the circle, as shown in Figure 5. Arc length radius when radian FIGURE 5 Definition of Radian One radian is the measure of a central angle that intercepts an arc s equal in length to the radius r of the circle. See Figure 5. Algebraicall, this means that s r where is measured in radians. Because the circumference of a circle is r units, it follows that a central angle of one full revolution (counterclockwise) corresponds to an arc length of radians FIGURE radians r r radians r r radian r r 5 radians radians s r. Moreover, because there are just over si radius lengths in a full circle, as shown in Figure. Because the units of measure for s and r are the same, the ratio sr has no units it is simpl a real number. Because the radian measure of an angle of one full revolution is, ou can obtain the following. revolution radians revolution.8, radians Video revolution radians. These and other common angles are shown in Figure 7. One revolution around a circle of radius r corresponds to an angle of radians because s r r r radians. FIGURE 7 Recall that the four quadrants in a coordinate sstem are numbered I, II, III, and IV. Figure 8 on the net page shows which angles between 0 and lie in each of the four quadrants. Note that angles between 0 and are acute angles and angles between and are obtuse angles.

The terminal sides of the quadrant angles 0,,, and do not lie within quadrants. FIGURE 8 Two angles are coterminal if the have the same initial and terminal sides. For instance, the angles 0 and are coterminal, as are the angles and. You can find an angle that is coterminal to a given angle b adding or subtracting (one revolution), as demonstrated in Eample. A given angle has infinitel man coterminal angles. For instance, is coterminal with n where n is an integer. = Eample Sketching and Finding Coterminal Angles a. For the positive angle, subtract to obtain a coterminal angle. See Figure 9. b. For the positive angle, subtract to obtain a coterminal angle 5. See Figure 0. c. For the negative angle, add to obtain a coterminal angle. See Figure. = 0 FIGURE 9 FIGURE 0 FIGURE Now tr Eercise 7. = 5 0 = 0

4 Two positive angles and are complementar (complements of each other) if their sum is. Two positive angles are supplementar (supplements of each other) if their sum is. See Figure. β α β α Complementar Angles FIGURE Supplementar Angles Eample Complementar and Supplementar Angles = (0 ) 0 = (0 ) 5 = (0 ) 8 0 = (0 ) FIGURE Video If possible, find the complement and the supplement of (a) 5 and (b) 5. a. The complement of 5 is 5 The supplement of 5 is b. Because 5 is greater than, it has no complement. (Remember that complements are positive angles.) The supplement is Degree Measure Now tr Eercise. A second wa to measure angles is in terms of degrees, denoted b the smbol. A measure of one degree ( ) is equivalent to a rotation of 0 of a complete revolution about the verte. To measure angles, it is convenient to mark degrees on the circumference of a circle, as shown in Figure. So, a full revolution (counterclockwise) corresponds to 0, a half revolution to 80, a quarter revolution to 90, and so on. Because radians corresponds to one complete revolution, degrees and radians are related b the equations 0 rad and 80 rad. From the latter equation, ou obtain 80 and rad 80 rad which lead to the conversion rules at the top of the net page

Arc Length sr, can be used to measure arc length along For a circle of radius r, a central angle intercepts an arc of length s given b s r Length of circular arc where is measured in radians. Note that if r, then s, and the radian measure of equals the arc length. Eample 5 Finding Arc Length FIGURE 5 A circle has a radius of inches. Find the length of the arc intercepted b a central angle of 0, as shown in Figure 5. To use the formula s r, first convert 0 to radian measure. 0 0 deg 80 deg Then, using a radius of r inches, ou can find the arc length to be s r.7 inches. r rad radians Note that the units for are determined b the units for r because is given in radian measure, which has no units. Now tr Eercise 87. The formula for the length of a circular arc can be used to analze the motion of a particle moving at a constant speed along a circular path. Linear speed measures how fast the particle moves, and angular speed measures how fast the angle changes. B dividing the formula for arc length b t, ou can establish a relationship between linear speed v and angular speed, as shown. s r s r t t v r Linear and Angular Speeds Consider a particle moving at a constant speed along a circular arc of radius r. If s is the length of the arc traveled in time t, then the linear speed v of the particle is Linear speed v Moreover, if is the angle (in radian measure) corresponding to the arc length s, then the angular speed (the lowercase Greek letter omega) of the particle is Angular speed arc length time s t. central angle time t.

Find the linear speed of the tip of this second hand as it passes around the clock face. In one revolution, the arc length traveled is s r centimeters. Substitute for r.

13 Trigonometric Functions: The Unit Circle What ou should learn Identif a unit circle and describe its relationship to real numbers. Evaluate trigonometric functions using the unit circle. Use the domain and period to evaluate sine and cosine functions. Use a calculator to evaluate trigonometric functions. Wh ou should learn it Trigonometric functions are used to model the movement of an oscillating weight. For instance, in Eercise 57, the displacement from equilibrium of an oscillating weight suspended b a spring is modeled as a function of time. The Unit Circle The two historical perspectives of trigonometr incorporate different methods for introducing the trigonometric functions. Our first introduction to these functions is based on the unit circle. Consider the unit circle given b as shown in Figure 0. Unit circle (, 0) (0, ) (0, ) (, 0) FIGURE 0 Simulation. Imagine that the real number line is wrapped around this circle, with positive numbers corresponding to a counterclockwise wrapping and negative numbers corresponding to a clockwise wrapping, as shown in Figure. t > 0 (, ) t t t < 0 (, 0) (, 0) t (, ) t FIGURE. Video As the real number line is wrapped around the unit circle, each real number t corresponds to a point, on the circle. For eample, the real number 0 corresponds to the point, 0. Moreover, because the unit circle has a circumference of, the real number also corresponds to the point, 0. In general, each real number t also corresponds to a central angle (in standard position) whose radian measure is t. With this interpretation of t, the arc length formula s r (with r ) indicates that the real number t is the length of the arc intercepted b the angle, given in radians.

14 . Video Note in the definition at the right that the functions in the second row are the reciprocals of the corresponding functions in the first row. The Trigonometric Functions From the preceding discussion, it follows that the coordinates and are two functions of the real variable t. You can use these coordinates to define the si trigonometric functions of t. sine cosecant cosine secant tangent cotangent These si functions are normall abbreviated sin, csc, cos, sec, tan, and cot, respectivel. Definitions of Trigonometric Functions Let t be a real number and let, be the point on the unit circle corresponding to t. sin t csc t, 0 cos t sec t, 0 tan t, cot t, 0 0 (0, ),, ( ), (, 0) ( ) FIGURE, (, ) (, ) FIGURE ( ) (, 0) (0, ) (, ) (0, ) (0, ) ( ) (, 0) ( ), (, ) (, 0) (, ) (, ) (, ) In the definitions of the trigonometric functions, note that the tangent and secant are not defined when 0. For instance, because t corresponds to, 0,, it follows that tan and sec are undefined. Similarl, the cotangent and cosecant are not defined when 0. For instance, because t 0 corresponds to,, 0, cot 0 and csc 0 are undefined. In Figure, the unit circle has been divided into eight equal arcs, corresponding to t-values of 0, and.,,,,,,, Similarl, in Figure, the unit circle has been divided into equal arcs, corresponding to t-values of 0, and.,,,, 5,,,,,,, To verif the points on the unit circle in Figure, note that also, lies on the line. So, substituting for in the equation of the unit circle produces the following. ± Because the point is in the first quadrant, and because, ou also have You can use similar reasoning to verif the rest of the points in. Figure and the points in Figure. Using the, coordinates in Figures and, ou can easil evaluate the trigonometric functions for common t-values. This procedure is demonstrated in Eamples and.

Eample Evaluating Trigonometric Functions Evaluate the si trigonometric functions at t. Moving clockwise around the unit circle, it follows that t corresponds to the point,,. Now tr Eercise 5. Domain and Period of Sine and Cosine The domain of the sine and cosine functions is the set of all real numbers. To determine the range of these two functions, consider the unit circle shown in Figure. Because r, it follows that sin t and cos t. Moreover, because, is on the unit circle, ou know that and. So, the values of sine and cosine also range between and. and sin t cos t Adding to each value of t in the interval 0, completes a second revolution around the unit circle, as shown in Figure 5. The values of sint and cost correspond to those of sin t and cos t. Similar results can be obtained for repeated revolutions (positive or negative) on the unit circle. This leads to the general result and sin cos tan sint n sin t cost n cos t csc sec cot for an integer n and real number t. Functions that behave in such a repetitive (or cclic) manner are called periodic. Definition of Periodic Function A function f is periodic if there eists a positive real number c such that ft c f t for all t in the domain of f. The smallest number c for which f is periodic is called the period of f. FIGURE 5

For instance, in Eercise 7, ou can use trigonometric functions to find the height of a helium-filled balloon. The Si Trigonometric Functions Our second look at the trigonometric functions is from a right triangle perspective. Consider a right triangle, with one acute angle labeled, as shown in Figure. Relative to the angle, the three sides of the triangle are the hpotenuse, the opposite side (the side opposite the angle ), and the adjacent side (the side adjacent to the angle ). FIGURE Hpotenuse Side adjacent to Side opposite Using the lengths of these three sides, ou can form si ratios that define the si trigonometric functions of the acute angle. sine cosecant cosine secant tangent cotangent In the following definitions, it is important to see that 0 < < 90 lies in the first quadrant) and that for such angles the value of each trigonometric function is positive..
