. Units & AOS Topic Concept Reciprocal circular functions Concept summar Practice questions Reciprocal trigonometric functions Histor of trigonometr The word trigonometr is derived from the Greek words trigonon and metron, meaning triangle and measure. Trigonometr is the branch of mathematics that deals with triangles and the relationships between the angles and sides of a triangle. Trigonometr was originall devised in the third centur BC to meet the needs of the astronomers of those times. Hipparchus was a Greek astronomer and mathematician and is considered to be the founder of trigonometr, as he compiled the first trigonometric tables in about 50 BC. Definitions of trigonometric ratios The following is a review of trigonometr, which is needed for the rest of this topic and subsequent work in this book. The trigonometric functions sin(), cos() and tan() are defined in terms of the ratio of the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle. Let the lengths of the three sides of the triangle be a, b and c, and let the angle between sides a and c be θ. sin(θ) = opposite hpotenuse = b c cos(θ) = adjacent hpotenuse = a c tan(θ) = opposite adjacent = b a Pthagoras theorem states that in an right-angled triangle, the square of the hpotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. That is: a + b = c. The unit circle An alternative definition of the trigonometric functions is based on the unit circle, which is a circle with radius one unit and centre at the origin. The unit circle has the equation + =. The coordinate of an point P (, ) on the unit circle is defined in terms of the trigonometric functions OR = = cos(θ) and RP = = sin(θ), where θ is the angle measured as a positive angle, anticlockwise from positive direction of the -ais. The trigonometric functions are also called circular functions as the are based on the unit circle. θ (0, ) θ = T P tan (θ) (, 0) θ (, 0) θ = O R S θ = 0 (0, ) c a θ = b 58 Maths Quest SPECIALIST MATHEMATICS VCE Units and
B substituting = cos(θ) and = sin(θ) into the equation + =, we can derive the relationship sin (θ) + cos (θ) =. Note that sin (θ) = (sin(θ)) and cos (θ) = (cos(θ)). The vertical distance from S to T is defined as tan(θ). As the triangles ΔORP and ΔOST are similar, RP OR = ST OS = tan(θ) = sin(θ) cos(θ) = tan(θ) Angles of an magnitude In the diagram of the unit circle, consider the point (0, ) on the -ais. This point corresponds to the angle θ = 90 or radians rotated from the positive end of the -ais. Since the sine of the angle is the -coordinate, it follows that sin(90 ) = sin =. Since the cosine of the angle is the -coordinate, it follows that cos (90 ) = cos = 0. The tangent is the value of sine divided b the cosine; because we cannot divide b zero, the tan of θ = 90 or radians is undefined. Similarl for the point (, 0), where θ = 80 or radians, it follows that cos(80 ) = cos() = and sin(80 ) = sin() = 0. The diagram can be used to obtain the trigonometric value of an multiple of 90, and these results are summarised in the following table. Angle (degrees) 0 90 80 70 0 Angle (radians) 0 sin (θ) 0 0 0 cos (θ) 0 0 tan (θ) 0 Undefined 0 Undefined 0 Note: Whenever an angle measurement is shown without a degree smbol in this topic, assume that it is measured in radians. The first quadrant The angle in the first quadrant is 0 < θ < 90 in degrees or 0 < θ < in radians. In the first quadrant, > 0 and > 0, so cos(θ) > 0 and sin(θ) > 0; therefore, tan(θ) > 0. The following table shows values derived from triangles in the first quadrant using the trigonometric ratios. You should memorise these values, as the are used etensivel in this topic.

The second quadrant The angle in the second quadrant is 90 < θ < 80 in degrees or P (a, b) < θ < in radians.

O a When this point is reflected in the -ais, it becomes the point P ( a, b). If P makes an angle of θ with the -ais, then P makes an angle of 80 θ degrees or θ radians with the -ais. From the definitions of sine and cosine, we obtain the following relationships. sin(80 θ) = sin(θ) sin( θ) = sin(θ) cos(80 θ) = cos(θ) cos( θ) = cos(θ) tan(80 θ) = tan(θ) tan( θ) = tan(θ) For eample: sin 5 = sin = sin = cos = cos = cos = tan = tan = tan = The third quadrant The angle in the third quadrant is 80 < θ < 70 in degrees or < θ < in radians.

Consider the point P (a, b) in the first quadrant. When this point is reflected in the -ais, it becomes the point P (a, b).

The line segment TR is constructed so that TR is perpendicular to OR, and the line segment TP is constructed so that it is perpendicular to OP and SR. Let ROQ = A and TOR = B so that TOP = A + B.

Substituting into the formula sin(a + B) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b), we derive sin(a + ( B)) = sin(a)cos( B) + cos(a)sin( B), so that sin(a B) = sin(a)cos(b) cos(a)sin(b).
