A Short Recap…In our lesson in Precalculus, what do you call to the circle of radius 1 and the center is

at the origin?

Unit CircleThe unit circle in the

plane is the circle of radius 1 and center at the

origin.

A Short Recap…

A unit circle is described by what

equation?

Unit Circle

122 yx

Derivation of the Six Circular Functions

Let be a point which lies on this circle. Draw the line segment

which joins P to the origin. Let θ be the measure of the angle formed

by this segment with the positive ray of the x-axis.

Unit Circle

Trigonometric PointA trigonometric point

is a point on the unit circle. It is the intersection of the

terminal side of an angle in standard position and the unit

circle.

Pyx ),(

Take Note:For an angle θ in standard position, define the sine and the cosine functions

of the angle θ as follows:

ysin xcos

Did you know?Since the coordinate x and y of the

point P(θ) are unique for an angle θ in standard position, the above equations are actually defined as

functions.

A Short Recap…What are the definitions of

sine and cosine given by your Math teacher when you

were in Grade 9?

Take Note: Since the coordinates of the point P depend on the

measure of the angle θ, we usually denote this point by P(θ). We will also sometimes use the

phrase “the angle θ lies in Quadrant _______” to mean that the point P(θ) which

lies on the terminal side of the angle is in the indicated quadrant.

Example 8.4.1 (Graph):

The 30°-60°-90° Triangle Theorem

In a 30°-60°-90°triangle the sides are in

the ratio

.3:2:1

Take Note:

The opposite side to 30° is half the

measurement of the hypotenuse.

Take Note:

The opposite side to 60° is the measurement of the

opposite side to 30°multiply by .3

Hence ,

The Converse Isosceles Triangle Theorem

If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are

also congruent.

Take Note:Since the other acute angle also measures 45°, so that we have an

isosceles right triangle, and x = y. Hence, since P(45°) = (x, y) lies on the unit circle, we can use the equation:

Similar Triangle We can define similar triangles as

triangles that have three (3) pairs of congruent angles and three (3) pairs of

proportional sides.

Take Note: Since it follows that P(θ) is either

in the third or in the fourth quadrant. Since

it follows that x and y have the same sign, and hence are both negative. Therefore, P(θ)

is in the third quadrant, where both the tangent and the cotangent functions have positive values, and the four remaining circular functions have

negative values.

Take Note:We only need to consider the quadrant which contains the

point P(θ), since this will determine the appropriate sign

of each function.
