CIRCULAR FUNCTION
Circular functions
 is commonly known as trigonometric
functions because the radian measures of
the angles are calculated by the length
and coordinates of the terminal point of
the arc on the unit circle.
Circular functions

 are functions whose domain and


range correspond to the
measures of angles with respect
to the trigonometric functions.
Circular functions
The basic circular functions are
sine, cosine and tangent and
their reciprocal functions are
cosecant, secant and cotangent
respectively.

Activity 1: Mix and Match

Print and cut the following 12 squares below.


Match the following trigonometric expression to its
exact values. Paste the cut squares in a sheet of
paper to create a rectangular shape. (Recall prior
knowledge of trigonometric functions).

is commonly known as trigonometric functions because the
radian measures of the angles are calculated by the length and

are functions whose domain and range correspond to the


measures of angles with respect to the trigonometric functions.
If P() denotes the point of intersection of the terminal
side of the angle with the unit circle x2 + y2 = 1, and P(x,
y) are the rectangular coordinates of this point, then we
have the following definition of the six trigonometric
functions. ; since r=1 since r=1

Evaluating Circular Functions Using
Reference Angles

A reference angle is the acute angle


formed by the terminal side of a given angle
in the standard position and the x-axis.
Evaluating Circular
Functions Using
Reference Angles
The reference angle is
always made positive which Reference angle
Quadrant
ever quadrant and what for θ
direction (counterclockwise 1 Same as θ
and clockwise) is the given 2 180 – θ
angle. Finding the reference
angle in each quadrant we 3 θ – 180
have (Note for negative 4 360 – θ
angle, neglect the negative
sign),
Example 2.4. Find Solution:
the reference angle a.Since the given angle is in the
of the following third quadrant, then we have,
given angle in
standard position.
θ – 180o = 204o – 180o
a. 204o
= 24o is the reference angle
b. – 150o
Example 2.4. Find b. – 150o is in the III quadrant in a
the reference angle clockwise direction, so regardless of
of the following
the negative sign, we have,
given angle in
standard position.
180o – θ = 180o – 150o
a. 204o

b. – 150o = 30o is the reference angle
