Slide 2

We will begin our study of precalculus by focusing on the topic of trigonometry Literal meaning of trigonometry The measurement of triangles Thus, we will be spending a lot of time working with and studying different triangles

Slide 3

Radian and Degree Measure To begin our study on trigonometry, we first start with angles and their measures An angle is determined by rotating a ray (half-line) about its endpoint. Initial Side Terminal Side Vertex

Slide 4

Radian and Degree Measure Standard Position An angle in standard position has 2 characteristics: 1) Initial side lies on the x-axis 2) Vertex is at the origin x y

Slide 6

Radian and Degree Measure Standard Position An angle in standard position has 2 characteristics: 1) Initial side lies on the x-axis 2) Vertex is at the origin x y

Slide 7

Radian and Degree Measure Positive Angles Rotate clockwise In standard position, start by going up Negative Angles Rotate counterclockwise In standard position, start by going down

Slide 8

Radian and Degree Measure Positive Angle

Slide 10

Radian and Degree Measure Angles can be measured in one of two units: 1) Degrees 2) Radians One full revolution of a central angle would be equal to: 1) 360 2) 2 radians (or 6.28 radians)

Slide 11

Radian and Degree Measure In radians, there are common angles that will need to be memorized = 180 = 90 = 270

Slide 12

Radian and Degree Measure In addition to our quadrant angles, there are 3 more angles that we will be using throughout the year. = 30 = 45 = 60

Slide 13

Radian and Degree Measure Coterminal Angles Two angles that have the same: Vertex Initial Side Terminal Side All angles have an infinite number of coterminal angles

Slide 14

Radian and Degree Measure Finding Coterminal angles To find a positive coterminal angle Add 2 (or 360 ) to the given angle To find a negative coterminal angle Subtract 2 (or 360 ) from the given angle

Radian and Degree Measure Arc Length The distance along the circumference of a circle with a central angle of Given by the formula: s = r Where: s = the arc length r = the radius of the circle = the central angle in radians

Slide 36

Radian and Degree Measure A circle has a radius of 4 inches. Find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 240. 1) Convert the angle to radians. 2) Apply the formula. S =(4)=16.7 inches

Slide 37

Radian and Degree Measure On a circle with a radius of 9 inches, find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 140 . S =(9) = 22 inches

Slide 38

Radian and Degree Measure Linear & Angular Speed Linear speed measures how fast a particle is moving along the circular arc of a circle with radius r Given by the formula:

Slide 39

Radian and Degree Measure Linear & Angular Speed Angular speed measures how fast the angle changes Given by the formula:

Slide 40

Radian and Degree Measure The second hand of a clock is 11 inches long. Find the linear speed of the tip of this second hand as it passes around the clock face. In one revolution, how far does the tip travel? s = 2 r = 22 inches What is the time required to travel this distance? t = 60 seconds r = 11 inches

Slide 41

Radian and Degree Measure The second hand of a clock is 11 inches long. Find the linear speed of the tip of this second hand as it passes around the clock face. s = 22 inchest = 60 seconds Linear Speed =

Radian and Degree Measure A car is moving at a rate of 65 mph, and the diameters of its wheels is 2.5 feet. a) Find the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are rotating. b) Find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute.

Slide 43

Radian and Degree Measure A car is moving at a rate of 65 mph, and the diameters of its wheels is 2.5 feet. a) Find the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are rotating. Find the arc length for one revolution: S = r = (1.25) (2 ) = 2.5 feet per revolution How many feet per hour is the car traveling? (65 mph )(5,280 feet)= 343,200 feet/hour = 5,720 feet/min = 728.3 revolutions
