2. TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS OF GENERAL ANGLES In order to extend the definitions of the six trigonometric functions to general angles, we shall make use of the following ideas: In a Cartesian coordinate system, an angle α is said to be in standard position if its vertex is at the origin O and its initial side coincides with the positive x axis (Figure 2.1). An angle is said to be in a certain quadrant if, when the angle is in standard position, the terminal side lies in that quadrant. For instance, a 65° angle lies in quadrant I or simply that it is a quadrant I angle. As Figure 2b shows, an angle of ‐187° is a quadrant II angle. If the terminal side of an angle in standard position lies along either the x axis or the y axis, then the angle is called quadrantal. For example, ‐360° , ‐270° , ‐180° , ‐90° , 0° , 90° , 180° , 270° , 360° are quadrantal angles. Evidently, an angle is quadrantal if and only if its measure is an integer multiple of 90° ( or π 2 radians). α is in standard position Figure 2.1 y terminal side α x initial side Figure 2.2 (a) (b) quadrant I angle quadrant II angle y y terminal side terminal side 65° x x ‐ 187° 8 Definition 2.1: Trigonometric Functions of a General Angle Let θ be an angle in standard position and suppose that ( x , y ) is any point other than ( 0 , 0 ) on the terminal side of θ (Figure 2.3). If r = x 2 + y 2 is the distance between ( x , y ) and ( 0 , 0 ), then the six trigonometric functions of θ are defined by Figure 2.3 y r x cos θ = r y tan θ = x r y r sec θ = x x cot θ = y sin θ = csc θ = y . (x,y) θ r provided that the denominators are not zero. O Using similar triangles, you can see that the values of the six trigonometric functions in Definition 2.1 depend only on the angle θ and not on the choice of the point (x, y) on the terminal side of θ . Example 2.1 ---------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------Evaluate the six trigonometric functions of the angle θ in standard position if the terminal side of θ contains the point (x, y) = ( 2, -1). Here, x = 2, y = -1, and r= x2 + y2 = 2 2 + (−1) 2 = 5. Thus, sin θ = y r = −1 = 5 2 − 5 5 2 5 5 5 −1 1 y tan θ = = = − x 2 2 cos θ = x r = = r 5 = = y −1 csc θ = 5 5 r = x 2 2 x cot θ = = = −2 . y −1 sec θ = ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You can determine the algebraic signs of the trigonometric functions for angles in the various quadrants by recalling the algebraic signs of x and y in these quadrants and 9 x y is r positive in quadrants I and II (where both y and r are positive), and it is negative in quadrants III and IV (where y is negative and r is positive). By proceeding in a similar way, you can determine the signs of the remaining trigonometric functions in the various quadrants and thus confirm the results in Table 2.1. remembering that r is always positive. For instance, as Figure 2.4 shows, sin θ = Figure 2.4 y y>0 sin θ = y>0 y sin θ = >0 >0 r Quadrant I r Quadrant II O y<0 sin θ = y y<0 y sin θ = <0 x y <0 r Quadrant IV r Quadrant III Table 2.1 Quadrant Containing θ I II III IV Positive Functions All sin θ , csc θ tan θ , cot θ cos θ , sec θ Negative Functions None cos θ , sec θ , tan θ , cot θ sin θ , csc θ , cos θ , sec θ sin θ , csc θ , tan θ , cot θ Example 2.2 ---------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------Find the quadrant in which θ lies if tan θ > 0 and sin θ < 0. This example can be worked by using Table 2.1; however, rather than relying on the table, we prefer to reason as follows: Let ( x , y ) be a point other than the origin on the terminal side of θ (in standard y position). Because tan θ = > 0, we see that x and y have the same algebraic sign. Furthermore, since x y sin θ = < 0, it follows that y < 0. Because x < 0 and y < 0, the angle is in quadrant III. r ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10 Reciprocal Identities If θ is an angle for which the functions are defined, then: (i) csc θ = 1 sin θ (ii) sec θ = 1 cos θ (iii) cot θ = 1 tan θ . Quotient Identities If θ is an angle for which the functions are defined, then: tan θ = sin θ cos θ and cos θ sin θ cot θ = .

Another important identity is derived as follows: Again suppose that θ is an angle in standard position and that ( x , y ) is a point other than the origin on the terminal side 2 2 2 of θ (Figure 9). Because r = x 2 + y 2 , we have x + y = r , so (cosθ ) 2 + (sin θ ) 2 2 2 x2 y2 r2 x y = ⎛⎜ ⎞⎟ + ⎛⎜ ⎞⎟ = 2 + 2 = 2 = 1. ⎝r⎠ ⎝r⎠ r r r (cos θ ) 2 + (sin θ ) 2 = 1 The relationship: is called the fundamental Pythagorean identity because its derivation involves the fact 2 2 2 that x + y = r , which is a consequence of the Pythagorean theorem. 11 The fundamental Pythagorean identity is used quite often, and it would be 2 2 bothersome to write the parentheses each time for (cosθ ) and (sinθ ) ; yet, if the parentheses were simply omitted, the resulting expressions would be misunderstood. (For 2 instance, cos θ is usually understood to mean the cosine of the square of θ .) Therefore, 2 2 2 2 it is customary to write cos θ and sin θ to mean (cosθ ) and (sinθ ) . Similar notation is used for the remaining trigonometric functions and for powers other 4 4 n n than 2. Thus, cot θ means ( cot θ ) , sec θ means ( sec θ ) , and so forth. With this notation, the fundamental Pythagorean identity becomes cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 1. Actually, there are three Pythagorean identities – the fundamental identity and two others derived from it. Pythagorean Identities If θ is an angle for which the functions are defined, then: (i) cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 1 (ii) 1+ tan 2 θ = sec 2 θ (iii) 1+ cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ We already proved (i). To prove (ii), we divide both sides of (i) by cos 2 θ to obtain 1+ sin 2 θ cos θ 2 = 1 cos 2 θ 2 2 sin θ ⎞ ⎛ 1 ⎞ 1 + ⎛⎜ ⎟ , ⎟ = ⎜ or ⎝ cos θ ⎠ ⎝ cos θ ⎠ provided that cos θ ≠ 0 . Since sin θ = tan θ cos θ 1 cos θ and = sec θ , we have that 1 + tan 2 θ = sec 2 θ . 2 Identity (iii) is proved by dividing both sides of (i) by sin θ . Example 2.4 ---------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------The value of one of the trigonometric functions of an angle θ is given along with the information about the quadrant in which θ lies, Find the values of the other five trigonometric functions of θ : 12 ( a ) sin θ = 5 , θ 13 in quadrant II. 2 2 By the fundamental Pythagorean identity, cos θ + sin θ = 1, so 2 ⎛5⎞ cos 2 θ = 1 − sin θ = 1 − ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 13 ⎠ 2 = 1− 25 169 − 25 144 = = . 169 169 169 144 12 = ± . 169 13 Because θ is in quadrant II, we know that cos θ is negative; hence, 12 cos θ = . 13 It follows that 5 sin θ 1 12 1 13 = − 5 tan θ = = cot θ = = = − -5 cos θ 12 tan θ 5 − 12 12 13 1 1 13 1 1 13 sec θ = = = − csc θ = = = 5 − 12 cos θ 5 12 sin θ 13 13 Therefore, cos θ = ± ( b ) tan θ = ‐ 8 and sin θ < 0. 7 Because tan θ < 0 only in quadrants II and IV, and sin θ < 0 only in quadrants III and IV, it follows that θ must be in quadrant IV.
