TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS OF ANY REAL NOS. THAT TERMINATE AT PT. (X,Y) Steps. 1. Find r. 2. Substitute the values of x, y and r to find the trigonometric functions. ex. P(3,4) = 4/5 = 3/5 = 4/3 = 5/4 = 5/3 = 3/4

FINDING THE OTHER TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS GIVEN A FUNCTION Steps. 1. Locate point in which quadrant. Determine the signs of the trig. functions depending on the quadrant. 2. Establish the values at x, y and r ( . 3. Substitute the values of x, y and r to find the values of the other trig. functions. ex. = 4/5 is in Q1 (x > 0, y > 0) 1. The point is in quadrant 1. All trig. functions are positive. 2. Using the Pythagorean theorem: x = 3, y = 4, r = 5. 3. = 4/5 = 5/4 = 3/5 = 5/3 = 4/3 = 3/4 GRAPHS OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Period -the length of one complete cycle Amplitude -the height of the graph -Amplitude =| f(x) = sin x

Properties of f(x) = sin x 1. The sine func. is an odd func., that is sin(-x) = -sinx. 2. The period is 2. 3. The amplitude is 1. 4. The zeros of the sine func. are 0, , 2, 3 ... , n where n is any integer. 5. The graph of the func. is symmetric with respect to the origin. 6. The max value of the function occurs at x = /2 + 2n where n is any integer. 7. The min value of the function occurs at x = 3/2 + 2n where n is any integer.

y = cos x

Properties of f(x) = cos x 1. The cosine func. is an even func., that is cos(-x) = cosx. 2. The period is 2. 3. The amplitude is 1. 4. The zeros of the sine func. are /2, 3/2, 5/2 ... , n/2 where n is an odd integer. 5. The graph of the func. is symmetric with respect to the origin. 6. The max value of the function occurs at x = 2n. 7. The min value of the function occurs at x = (2n+1) where n is any integer. Properties of f(x) = a sin bx or f(x) = a cos bx 1.
