LIALMC5_1768.QXP /6/4 1:4 AM Page 47 5 Trigonometric Functions Highwa transportation is critical to the econom of the United States. In 197 there were 115 billion miles traveled, and b the ear this increased to approimatel 5 billion miles. When an automobile travels around a curve, objects like trees, buildings, and fences situated on the curve ma obstruct a driver s vision. Trigonometr is used to determine how far inside the curve land must be cleared to provide visibilit for a safe stopping distance. (Source: Mannering, F. and W. Kilareski, Principles of Highwa Engineering and Traffic Analsis, nd Edition, John Wile & Sons, 1998.) A problem like this is presented in Eercise 61 of Section 5.4. 5.1 Angles 5.

The portion of the line between A and B, including points A and B themselves, is line segment AB, or simpl segment AB. The portion of line AB that starts at A and continues through B, and on past B, is called ra AB. Point A is the endpoint of the ra. (See Figure 1.) An angle is formed b rotating a ra around its endpoint. The ra in its initial position is called the initial side of the angle, while the ra in its location after the rotation is the terminal side of the angle. The endpoint of the ra is the verte of the angle. Figure shows the initial and terminal sides of an angle with verte A. If the rotation of the terminal side is counterclockwise, the angle is positive. If the rotation is clockwise, the angle is negative. Figure shows two angles, one positive and one negative. Verte A Figure Initial side C A B Positive angle Negative angle Figure An angle can be named b using the name of its verte. For eample, the angle on the right in Figure can be called angle C. Alternativel, an angle can be named using three letters, with the verte letter in the middle. Thus, the angle on the right also could be named angle ACB or angle BCA. A complete rotation of a ra gives an angle whose measure is 6. Figure 4 Degree Measure The most common unit for measuring angles is the degree. (The other common unit of measure, called the radian, is discussed in Section 6.1.) Degree measure was developed b the Bablonians, 4 ears ago. To use degree measure, we assign 6 degrees to a complete rotation of a ra.* In Figure 4, notice that the terminal side of the angle corresponds to its initial side when it makes a complete rotation. One degree, written 1, represents 1 9 of a rotation. Therefore, 9 represents of a complete rotation, and 18 18 represents 6 1 6 1 6 4 of a complete rotation. An angle measuring between and 9 is called an acute angle. An angle measuring eactl 9 is a right angle. An angle measuring more than 9 but less than 18 is an obtuse angle, and an angle of eactl 18 is a straight angle. See Figure 5, where we use the Greek letter (theta)** to name each angle. *The Bablonians were the first to subdivide the circumference of a circle into 6 parts. There are various theories as to wh the number 6 was chosen. One is that it is approimatel the number of das in a ear, and it has man divisors, which makes it convenient to work with. Another involves a roundabout theor dealing with the length of a Bablonian mile. **In addition to (theta), other Greek letters such as (alpha) and (beta) are sometimes used to name angles.

LIALMC5_1768.QXP /6/4 1:4 AM Page 475 5.1 Angles 475 TEACHING TIP Point out that two angles can be complementar or supplementar without having a side in common. For instance, the two acute angles of a right triangle are complementar. Acute angle < < 9 Right angle = 9 Obtuse angle 9 < < 18 Figure 5 Straight angle = 18 If the sum of the measures of two positive angles is 9, the angles are called complementar. Two positive angles with measures whose sum is 18 are supplementar. EXAMPLE 1 Finding Measures of Complementar and Supplementar Angles Find the measure of each angle in Figure 6. (6m) (m) (4k) (a) (b) (6k) Figure 6 Solution (a) In Figure 6(a), since the two angles form a right angle (as indicated b the smbol), the are complementar angles. Thus, 6m m 9 9m 9 m 1. The two angles have measures of 61 6 and 1. (b) The angles in Figure 6(b) are supplementar, so 4k 6k 18 1k 18 k 18. These angle measures are 418 7 and 618 18. Now tr Eercises 1 and 15. O Figure 7 A = 5 Do not confuse an angle with its measure. Angle A of Figure 7 is a rotation; the measure of the rotation is 5. This measure is often epressed b saing that mangle A is 5, where mangle A is read the measure of angle A. It is convenient, however, to abbreviate mangle A 5 as A 5. Traditionall, portions of a degree have been measured with minutes and 1 seconds. One minute, written 1, is 6 of a degree. 1 1 or 6 1 6 1 One second, 1, is of a minute. 6 1 1 1 6 6 or 6 1 The measure 1 4 8 represents 1 degrees, 4 minutes, 8 seconds.

LIALMC5_1768.QXP /6/4 1:4 AM Page 477 5.1 Angles 477 Verte Standard Position An angle is in standard position if its verte is at the origin and its initial side is along the positive -ais. The angles in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) are in standard position. An angle in standard position is said to lie in the quadrant in which its terminal side lies. An acute angle is in quadrant I (Figure 8(a)) and an obtuse angle is in quadrant II (Figure 8(b)). Figure 8(c) shows ranges of angle measures for each quadrant when Angles in standard position having their terminal sides along the -ais or -ais, such as angles with measures 9, 18, 7, and so on, are called quadrantal angles.

B continuing the rotation, angles of measure larger than 6 can be produced. The angles in Figure 9 with measures 6 and 4 have the same initial side and the same terminal side, but different amounts of rotation. Such angles are called coterminal angles; their measures differ b a multiple of 6. As shown in Figure 1, angles with measures 11 and 8 are coterminal. 188 98 6 4 Coterminal angles Figure 9 Figure 1 11 8 Coterminal angles EXAMPLE 4 Finding Measures of Coterminal Angles Figure 11 Find the angles of smallest possible positive measure coterminal with each angle.

Viewing Field of a Telescope Due to Earth s rotation, celestial objects like the moon and the stars appear to move across the sk, rising in the east and setting in the west. As a result, if a telescope on Earth remains stationar while viewing a celestial object, the object will slowl move outside the viewing field of the telescope. For this reason, a motor is often attached to telescopes so that the telescope rotates at the same rate as Earth. Determine how long it should take the motor to turn the telescope through an angle of 1 min in a direction perpendicular to Earth s ais.

(The point P must not be the verte of the angle.) See Figure 1. A perpendicular from P to the -ais at point Q determines a right triangle, having vertices at O, P, and Q. We find the distance r from P, to the origin,,, using the distance formula. r (Section.1) Notice that r since distance is never negative. The si trigonometric functions of angle are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. In the following definitions, we use the customar abbreviations for the names of these functions.

Because of the restrictions on the denominators in the definitions of tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant, some angles will have undefined function values.

Let r be the length of the hpotenuse of triangle OPQ, and let r be the length of the hpotenuse of triangle OPQ. Since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, r r, so sin r is the same no matter which point is used to find it.

Trigonometric Functions 48 = = 1 r = 5 + =, Figure 17 (, 1) + =, Figure 18 We can also find the trigonometric function values of an angle if we know the equation of the line coinciding with the terminal ra. Recall from algebra that the graph of the equation (Section.) is a line that passes through the origin. If we restrict to have onl nonpositive or onl nonnegative values, we obtain as the graph a ra with endpoint at the origin. For eample, the graph of,, shown in Figure 17, is a ra that can serve as the terminal side of an angle in standard position. B choosing a point on the ra, we can find the trigonometric function values of the angle.

Similarl, an angle with terminal side on the -ais has -coordinate for an point on the terminal side. Since the values of and appear in the denominators of some trigonometric functions, and since a fraction is undefined if its denominator is, some trigonometric function values of quadrantal angles (i.e., those with terminal side on an ais) are undefined.

CAUTION One of the most common errors involving calculators in trigonometr occurs when the calculator is set for radian measure, rather than degree measure. (Radian measure of angles is discussed in Chapter 6.) Be sure ou know how to set our calculator in degree mode. TEACHING TIP Students ma be tempted to associate secant with sine and cosecant with cosine. Note this common misconception. Reciprocal Identities Identities are equations that are true for all values of the variables for which all epressions are defined. 6 Identities The definitions of the trigonometric functions at the beginning of this section were written so that functions in the same column are reciprocals of each other. Since sin r and csc r, sin 1 csc and csc 1, sin provided sin. Also, cos and sec are reciprocals, as are tan and cot. In summar, we have the reciprocal identities that hold for an angle that does not lead to a denominator.

Be sure not to use the inverse trigonometric function kes to find the reciprocal function values. Attempting to find sec 9 b entering 1cos 9 produces an ERROR message, indicating the reciprocal is undefined. See Figure 1(b). Compare these results with the ones found in the table of quadrantal angle function values.

A indicates all in quadrant I, S represents sine in quadrant II, T represents tangent in quadrant III, and C stands for cosine in quadrant IV. Signs and Ranges of Function Values In the definitions of the trigonometric functions, r is the distance from the origin to the point,. Distance is never negative, so r. If we choose a point, in quadrant I, then both and will be positive. Thus, the values of all si functions will be positive in quadrant I. A point, in quadrant II has and. This makes the values of sine and cosecant positive for quadrant II angles, while the other four functions take on negative values. Similar results can be obtained for the other quadrants, as summarized on the net page.

For eample, b subtracting sin from both sides of sin cos 1, we get the equivalent identit cos 1 sin. You should be able to transform these identities quickl and also recognize their equivalent forms. Looking Ahead to Calculus The reciprocal, Pthagorean, and quotient identities are used in calculus to find derivatives and integrals of trigonometric functions. A standard technique of integration called trigonometric substitution relies on the Pthagorean identities. Quotient Identities Recall that sin r and cos r. Consider the quotient of sin and cos, where cos. cos sin cos r r r r r r tan Similarl, sin cot, for sin. Thus, we have the quotient identities.

This is incorrect, however, since both sin and cos must be in the interval 1, 1.

As drawn in Figure, and are the lengths of the two legs of the right triangle ABC, and r is the length of the hpotenuse. The side of length is called the side opposite angle A, and the side of length is called the side adjacent to angle A. We use the lengths of these sides to replace and in the definitions of the trigonometric functions, and the length of the hpotenuse to replace r, to get the following right-triangle-based definitions.

While the results we will obtain are independent of the length, for convenience we choose the length of each side to be units. See Figure 5(a). Bisecting one angle of this equilateral triangle leads to two right triangles, each of which has angles of, 6, and 9, as shown in Figure 5(b).

Notice in Eample 4 that the trigonometric function values of 1 correspond in absolute value to those of its reference angle. The signs are different for the sine, cosine, secant, and cosecant functions because 1 is a quadrant III angle. These results suggest a shortcut for finding the trigonometric function values of a nonacute angle, using the reference angle. In Eample 4, the reference angle for 1 is. Using the trigonometric function values of, and choosing the correct signs for a quadrant III angle, we obtain the results found in Eample 4.

If is an appropriate number, then sin 1, cos 1, or tan 1 give the measure of an angle whose sine, cosine, or tangent is. For the applications in this section, these functions will return values of in quadrant I. Degree mode Figure 4 EXAMPLE 7 Using an Inverse Trigonometric Function to Find an Angle Use a calculator to find an angle in the interval, 9 sin.96779175. that satisfies Solution With the calculator in degree mode, we find that an angle having sine value.96779175 is 75.4. (While there are infinitel man such angles, the calculator gives onl this one.) We write this result as See Figure 4. sin 1.96779175 75.4. Now tr Eercise 91.
