To evaluate the six trigonometric functions.
Answer to Problem 105E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Write a short essay explaining to a classmate how to evaluate the six trigonometric functions of any angle
Calculation:
First, we will explain how to find six trigonometric functions of an angle
If at the place of angle
If we need to find trigonometric functions of angle between
Then the coordinates of terminal axis
So, we will take distance between
Now, we will explain to find the angle, if ratios are given. The signs of the trigonometry functions are different in all IV quadrants.
In
So, we can say
Now, if we don’t want to deal with obtuse or reflex angle, then we can introduce reference angle of a given angle represented by
Reference angle: The smallest angle between the terminal side and horizontal angle is called reference angle.
To find value of
Now, if we need to find the trigonometric functions of angles given in radians then we can use calculator. Moreover, we can convert degrees in radians by taking
Hence, In
