Quadrant Law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just continue

OpenStudy (abhisar):

|dw:1404383888579:dw|

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Here, i have denoted angle with x

OpenStudy (abhisar):

For finding an angle >90°

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\bullet\) Break the angle into two parts such that 1\(^{st}\) part is multiple of 90° and 2\(^{nd}\) part is an acute angle

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Example lets break 210°

OpenStudy (abhisar):

can u ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

210° = 270°-60°

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Here, 270° is a multiple of 90° (3*90) and 60° is an acute angle

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Waiting for ur response !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get 60 deg. ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u have to guess it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Next step \(\bullet\) Check the quadrant and determine the (+ve)/(-ve) sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okay

OpenStudy (abhisar):

210° = 270°-60° will lie in 3rd quadrant

OpenStudy (abhisar):

In 3rd quadrant only tan/cot is +ve rest are -ve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Next Step \(\bullet\) For (90°\(\pm\)X), (270°\(\pm\)X) function changes. \(\bullet\) For (180°\(\pm\)X), (360°\(\pm\)X) function remains unchanged.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Sin will become cos, tan will become cot & cosec will become sec and vice versa

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Here, we have Cos (270°-60°), so function will change and cos will become sin and since it is in 3rd quadrant it will be -ve. So Cos (270°-60°) = -sin 60°

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Getting it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now we can easily find the value, sin 60° = \(\huge \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), so -sin 60° = -\(\huge \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hence, cos 210° = -sin 60° = -\(\huge \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what quadrant ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

IIIrd quadrant

OpenStudy (abhisar):

See the diagram i made, it's self illustrative

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I,II,III & IV represents the quadrants

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I have indicated the angle range for each quadrant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah how about in radians for example sin 2pi/3

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u can convert them into degrees first. \(\huge\frac{2\pi}{3}\) rad = \(\huge\frac{2\pi}{3}\)* \(\huge\frac{180}{\pi}\) = 120°

OpenStudy (abhisar):

got it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okayyy

OpenStudy (abhisar):

There are two more principles \(\bigstar\) Sin(-X) = -sinx, Cos(-x)=Cosx, tan(-x)= -tanX \(\bigstar\) Sin(n360°=X)=SinX, Cos(n360°=X)=cosX, tan(n360°=X)= tanX

OpenStudy (abhisar):

That's it ! Now all u need is practice.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

are u willing to do some examples with me ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about cos 570

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make it minus 360 = 210 III

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ohkay..lets do it !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Cos 570° = Cos ((2*360°) - 150°)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

=Cos 150°

OpenStudy (abhisar):

= Cos (180°-30°)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's in IInd quadrant and function will not change because its 180

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So, Cos (180°-30°) = -Cos 30° = -\(\huge\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Getting it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is IIIrd quad right?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Cos 150° is in IInd quad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 570

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yep

OpenStudy (abhisar):

@blackbutterfly is it clear ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thanks for the info.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you teacher?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

nopes ! http://openstudy.com/users/abhisar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we hav a chemistry subject too. the topic that i didnt understand is dimensional analysis about conversion

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's easy !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u wanna learn that too ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah :D

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ohkay brb !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow, 14 medals...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 :P
