4.4 Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle
Dr. Shim
4.4 - Objectives
• Evaluate trigonometric functions of any angle to ±∞
• Use reference angles to evaluate trigonometric functions
• Use trig models to solve real world problems
• Make accurate diagrams, close to scale as much as possible for
effective communications

Reciprocals of positive numbers are still positive!


Practice
Find the six trigonometric functions of 𝜃𝜃 with the given constant.
15 This means with tangent and sine both negative that we are in
tan 𝜃𝜃 = − ; sin 𝜃𝜃 < 0
8 which quadrant.

𝜃𝜃 must be in Quadrant ____

NOTE: In trigonometry and calculus, draw triangles in standard position with first leg on positive
x-axis and angle is rotating from positive x-axis. Simplify by REDUCDING fractions and factor
out common factors!
Practice
The terminal side of 𝜃𝜃 lies on the line 𝑦𝑦 = 1⁄3 𝑥𝑥. Start with a graph of this line. Find the values
of the six trigonometric functions of 𝜃𝜃 by finding a point on the line. Assume 𝜃𝜃 is in Q3.

sin 𝜃𝜃 =

Reference Angles ~ Another way of evaluating Trig functions of any angle.

Let 𝜃𝜃 be an angle in standard position. Its reference angle is the acute, positive angle
𝜃𝜃′ formed by the terminal side of 𝜃𝜃 and the closer horizontal axis.
Practice
Find the reference angle 𝜃𝜃𝜃 and sketch 𝜃𝜃 in standard position and 𝜃𝜃𝜃.

Evaluate tan 135° using reference angle.

Evaluate the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle without using a
calculator. Draw the angle, and find the reference angle.

The program finds the sine curve that best fits through
the data points. Use radian mode.

𝑦𝑦 = 22.1 sin 0.5217𝑥𝑥 − 2.219 + 55.01

Amplitude = 22.1

𝑏𝑏 = 2𝜋𝜋/12 ≈ 0.52

The model equation is in Y1. Use table
