Trigonometry

Trigonometry deals with relationships of angles and sides of triangles. An angle is a measure of rotation, measured in units like revolutions, degrees, or radians. The six trigonometric functions - sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant - relate the sides of a right triangle to an acute angle. Conversions between units involve multiplication by constants like π/180. Trigonometric functions can be used to find unknown sides or angles of a triangle given sufficient information.

The Six Trigonometric Functions

Let 𝜃 be an acute angle, then we have the usual trigonometric relationships in a right triangle.
If
𝑜 is the side opposite to 𝜃,
𝑎 is the side adjacent to 𝜃, and
ℎ is the hypotenuse of the triangle, then

𝒐 𝒉
𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒉 𝐜𝐬𝐜 𝜽 = 𝒐

𝒂 𝒉
𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽 = 𝒉 𝐬𝐞𝐜 𝜽 = 𝒂

𝒐 𝒂
𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒂 𝐜𝐨𝐭 𝜽 = 𝒐

So, you have mnemonic devices SOH-CAH-TOA and CHO-SHA-CAO

Let 𝜃 be an angle in standard position and 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) be any point on the terminal side of the angle
other than the origin 𝑂. Let 𝑟 = √𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 be the distance of P from O, or equivalently the hypotenuse of
the right triangle whose vertices are at O, P, and the foot perpendicular from P to the x-axis.

Therefore, the sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent of 𝜃, respectively denoted by
sin 𝜃, cos 𝜃, tan 𝜃, csc 𝜃, sec 𝜃, and cot 𝜃, are given by:

𝒚 𝒓
𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒓 𝐜𝐬𝐜 𝜽 = 𝒚

𝒙 𝒓
𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽 = 𝒓 𝐬𝐞𝐜 𝜽 = 𝒙

𝒚 𝒙
𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒙 𝐜𝐨𝐭 𝜽 = 𝒚
The Six Circular Functions
Unit Circle-based Definition of the Circular Functions

Recall that a unit circle has a radius 𝑟 = 1, and an angle 𝜃 in standard position, such that 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) is
the point of intersection of the unit circle and the terminal side of 𝜃.

The six circular functions of 𝜃 are as follows:


𝟏
𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒚 𝐜𝐬𝐜 𝜽 = 𝒚

𝟏
𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽 = 𝒙 𝐬𝐞𝐜 𝜽 = 𝒙

𝒚 𝒙
𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒙 𝐜𝐨𝐭 𝜽 = 𝒚

The Wrapping Function


- a function defined as 𝑊(𝜃) = 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) where 𝜃 is a real number and 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) is the point of
intersection of a unit circle and the terminal side of 𝜃. The point is called circular point.

Since 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽 = 𝒙 and 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽 = 𝒚, the wrapping function can be written as

𝑾(𝜽) = 𝑷(𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽, 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽)

Exercises: Find the coordinates of the circular points P given an angle 𝜽
