Sine and Cosine Graph

The document discusses sine and cosine ratios for angles up to 180 degrees. It provides tables of values for y=sinx and y=cosx using a calculator. It then gives examples of using a calculator to solve sinx=0.5 and cosx=0.4 for the domain of 0 to 180 degrees, showing the solutions and discussing whether there are additional solutions.

SINE AND COSINE RATIOS

o
FOR ANGLES UP TO 180
The graph of y = sinx

Use a calculator to complete the table of values for y = sin x.

x 0 30 60 90 120 150 180


y 0 0.5 0.87 1 0.87 0.5 0

y = sin x
The graph of y = cos x

Use a calculator to complete the table of values for y = cos x.

x 0 30 60 90 120 150 180


y 1 0.87 0.5 0 −0.5 −0.87 −1

y = cos x
1 Solve sin x = 0.5 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 180o

Using a calculator x = sin-1(0.5) = 30o


Are there other answers?

0.5

There is another answer of x = 150o

x = 30o, 150o
2 Solve cos x = 0.4 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 180o
Using a calculator x = cos-1(0.4) = 66.4o
Are there other answers?

0.4

66.4

There are no more answers


x = 66.4o
