Math 30-1 Chapters 4, 5 & 6 Review Name ___________________________

Trigonometry

 questions on last diploma were TRIG; 4 of those questions were standard of

excellence ( of the test is standard of excellence)


 1 question from outcome 1; 1 question from outcome2; 3 questions from outcome 3; 2
questions from outcome 4; 3 questions from outcome 5; 3 questions from outcome 6

Outcome 1: Angles in Standard Position, Degrees and Radians, Arc Length

 Rotate counter-clockwise for positive angle, clockwise for negative


 CO-TERMINAL means if the angles were drawn, their terminal arms would overlap

 Reference angles are always POSITIVE and measure . . .always relative to


the axis

 Formula involving ARC LENGTH is on formula sheet BUT only works if is in


RADIANS

Outcome 2: Apply Equation of Unit Circle

 Equation of unit circle is


 Any point on the unit circle should “satisfy” the equation
o You can sub in an -coordinate to solve for the coordinate of a point (or vice
versa)
 If you are given the coordinates of a point on the unit circle . ..
o The -coordinate represents the COSINE ratio of the angle
o The -coordinate represents the SINE ratio of the angle

3
Outcome 3: Solve Problems involving the SIX trig ratios

 If given a trig ratio you would know 2 out of 3 sides of a right angle triangle and you can
use pythagorean theorem to find the third side
o Look for restrictions on that will tell you which QUADRANT to draw the
triangle in
 Exact values of trig ratios can be found using EITHER the points on the unit circle OR
the special triangles
 Given a trig ratio, you can find an angle using the INVERSE or 2nd button on your
calculator
o Remember, given there are 2 angles with the same trig ratio

o Example: and
o Use your CAST rule to help you find all the angles
 Knowing the coordinates of your QUADRANTALS will help with the and ratios

of

Outcome 4: Graph and Analyze Trig Functions

 Given a graph, you may be asked to write the equation in the form

or
o Recall:

 is the amplitude of the wave

 is the RATIO of the regular period to the new period


 is the phase shift
 is the vertical displacement (the y-value of the middle of the wave)

o Domain is
o Range is
 Tangent functions
o Have NO amplitude
o Have a period of !!!
 Ferris Wheel
o The radius of the wheel =

o the time it takes to complete one revolution is the PERIOD . ..


o would be the height of the CENTER of the wheel off the ground.

5
Write the equation in the form also.

Outcome 5: Solve Trig Equations

 This equation can be solved by taking out a common factor

 Once factored, set each factor to zero and solve


 There would be 4 solutions if the domain was BUT the domain is restricted so there
are only 2 solutions.

 This equation can be solved by factoring the equation as a DIFFERENCE OF SQUARES

 Once factored, set each factor to zero and solve


 There would be 4 solutions if the domain was BUT the domain is really so
you write all the anlges CO-TERMINAL to each of your solutions

 FIRST you must use an IDENTITY to replace ....


 Then you can factor the new equation and solve
 To address the “domain”
o Find any solutions from to
o Find any solutions from to
 These will be angles in quadrants III and IV
 You will rotate in a NEGATIVE direction to reach these angles

7
 The equation is ALREADY in factored form . . . set each factor = 0 , isolate the , and
reciprocate the ratio to solve for
 One equation at a time, enter left side as and right side as
o ,
o Make sure you’re in DEGREE MODE
o Find intersection points

 To solve this graphically, enter


o ,
o find intersection points and determine which general solutions match

 To solve this algebraically, use the IDENTITY for , factor and solve.

8
Outcome 6: Trig Identities

 All identities can be found on your formula sheet


 VERIFYING – substitute a given value in for and showing that the LS and RS come
out to the same value
 PROVING –use identities involving trig ratios to show that both sides of the equation
simplify to the same trig expression
 RESTRICTIONS (NON-PERMISSIBLE VALUES) . . . denominators 0 & there are
“hidden restrictions” in
o Restictions are always written as a GENERAL SOLUTION

9
ve this question

ust the “restictions” . . .not


rtant to the solving of this

This is an identity . . .
expand and use exact
values to solve.
