Evaluating using the Unit CircleObjective: use the Unit Circle instead of a calculator to evaluating trig functionsHow is the Unit Circle used in place of a calculator?
Remember…
x
y1
Ѳ
Ex 1) Evaluating each of the following:
cos(45°)
sin(120°)
Finding tangent
Divide the coordinates (y on top)
Dividing fractions: “Keep, Change, Flip”
Simplify using “Keep, Change, Flip”
a. b.c.
Ex 2) Evaluate each of the following
tan(45°)
tan(120°)
Reciprocal Trig Functions
cscθ =
cotθ =
Reciprocal of “cosine”
Reciprocal of “sine”
Reciprocal of “tangent”
Ex) Evaluate each of the following
sec(45°)
csc(120°)
“Undefined”
What happens when you try to evaluate these functions?
a. tan(90°) b. tan(270°)
