Angle Measurement:
Angle – measurement of rotation of a given ray about its initial point.
Sexagesimal System:
1 rev=360 °
1 °=60 '
1' =60
Circular/Natural System:
1 rev=2 π rad
Centesimal System:
1 rev=400 g
1g =400 '
1' =100
Trigonometric Functions:
- Are functions that relate an angle in a right angled triangle to the ratio of two of its sides.
x 2+ y 2=r 2
cos (θ )2+ sin (θ )2=r 2
1+ tan ( θ )2=sec ( θ )2
Sum and Difference Identities:
Odd Functions – A function f is odd if the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the
origin. Algebraically, f is odd if and only if f (−x ) =−f ( x ) for all x in the domain of f .
Even Function – A function f is even if the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the
y-axis. Algebraically, f is even if and only if f (−x ) =f (x ) for all x in the domain of f .
Wave Characteristics:
y=sin ( x ) , y=cos ( θ )
