Helppp
there are technically multiple answers for this but taking a look at the unit circle, what is theta when cos(theta) = 1?
|dw:1520394524773:dw|
0?
awesome, so degrees theta = 0, and coincidentally radians theta is also 0 then just find sin, tan, etc. for theta = 0
all 0
well sin is 0
tan is 0 as well
good what about csc, sec, and cot?
csc=undefined sec=1 cot=undefined
awesome that's it
4.71
so where on the UC do you think tan would be sqrt(3)?
for radians
hm? since degrees are 0 radians are 0 as well
wait aren't we on the second chart
oh shoot i was doing the third chart sorry
okay so degree and radians are 0
yes
theta would be 270?
for chart 2? I don't think so, tan(270) is not sqrt(3)
as a hint - since tan(theta) = sin(theta)/cos(theta) so select the point on the UC where sin/cos = sqrt(3), you might have to do some mental math
um 5
it's not immediately obvious, but if we see this point:|dw:1520395252556:dw|
if we divide sin/cos we get sqrt(3)/2 divided by 1/2 which ends up being sqrt(3) so your angle is 60 degrees, convert that to radians then perform the rest of the calculations
1.05
1.04719755
actually that's right but let's leave in terms of pi, pi/3
so the radians would be pi/3 (as a general rule, we don't want to round until it tells us too, b/c we'll lose significant digits)
then calculate sin, cos, etc. for pi/3 or 60 degrees
okay so sin(pi/3) cos(pi/3)
good, what would those equal?
sin(pi/3)=sqrt3/2 cos(pi/3)=1/2 csc(pi/3)=2sqrt3/2 sec(pi/3)=2 cot(pi/3)=sqrt3/3
check csc again it doesn't look quite right
2sqrt3/3
good
I'm ready for chart 3 if you have it
same process as before, simply convert 270 deg to radians, then fill out the rest of the table
4.71
for radians
good but let's try to leave it in terms of pi, that's a good general rule for radians 3pi/2
sin(3pi/2)=-1 cos(3pi/2)=0 csc(3pi/2)=-1 sec(3pi/2)=undefined cot(3pi/2)=0
perfect
same thing w/ chart 4 just using 30 deg as the angle, convert to radians first, etc.
0.52359878
What would that be in terms of pi :/
when you multiply 30 degrees * (pi/180) without rounding pi, what do you get?
pi/6
right
yeah good, then just fill out the rest of the table
sin(pi/6)=1/2 cos(pi/6)=sqrt2/3 tan(pi/6)=sqrt3/3 csc(pi/6)=2 sec(pi/6)=2sqrt3/3 cot(pi/6)=sqrt3
check cos again
sqrt3/2
good, the rest are perfect
ok, so for #5 - if the angle is theta, convert this to degrees, then fill out the rest of the table
180
good, then proceed w/ the calculations as usual
it would just be sin(pi) righr
yes
sin(pi)=0 cos(pi)=-1 tan(pi)=0 csc(pi)=undefined sec(pi)=-1 cot(pi)=undefined
perfect
for #6 take a look at the Unit Circle and see which angle corresponds to sin(theta) = root(2)/2
3/2
|dw:1520398222139:dw|
so the angle is 45 degrees, proceed w/ the conversion/calculation as usual
0.78539816
remember, if we want to get the radians in terms of pi, you'll have to manually convert it by multiplying (45 deg) by (pi/180) and leaving pi unrounded
pi/4 sin(pi/4)=sqrt2/2 cos(pi/4)=sqrt2/2 tan(pi/4)=1 csc(pi/4)=sqrt2 sec(pi/4)=sqrt2 cot(pi/4)=1
awesome
is there anything after chart 6
one more chart if you are up to it?
if not we can continue tomorrow
yeah sure let's do it
ok, take another look at the UC, what angle does sin(theta) = 1?
um
remember, your x and y coordinates are cos(theta), sin(theta)
(1,0)
sin(theta) would be the y-coordinate what ~angle~ would the y-coordinate be 1?
1
|dw:1520399078686:dw|
what angle corresponds to this point?
oh sqrt2/2
|dw:1520399123081:dw|
check again, what angle corresponds to this point? you must look at the angle measurements as well as the coordinate point
90
good, the angle is 90 degrees not root(2)/2
1.57079633
for radian qhich would be 1.57*(pi/180)
start with the degree measurement
90 * pi/180 = ?
[leave pi in its unrounded form]
pi/2
good, then fill out the rest of the table
cos(pi/2)=0 tan(pi/2)=undefined csc(pi/2)=1 sec(pi/2)=undefined cot(pi/2)=0
good
Thank you, you can finally go to bed lol
