Example Question #231 : Pre Calculus
Solve the following:
Rewrite
in terms of sine and cosine functions.
Since these angles are special angles from the unit circle, the values of each term can be determined from the x and y coordinate points at the specified angle.
Solve each term and simplify the expression.
Example Question #2 : Find The Value Of Any Of The Six Trigonometric Functions
Find the value of
.
Using trigonometric relationships, one can set up the equation
.
Solving for
,
Thus, the answer is found to be 29.
Example Question #3 : Find The Value Of Any Of The Six Trigonometric Functions
Find the value of
.
Using trigonometric relationships, one can set up the equation
.
Plugging in the values given in the picture we get the equation,
.
Solving for
,.
Thus, the answer is found to be 106.
Example Question #1 : Trigonometric Functions
Find all of the angles that satistfy the following equation:
OR
OR
The values of
that fit this equation would be:and
because these angles are in QI and QII where sin is positive and where
.
This is why the answer
is incorrect, because it includes inputs that provide negative values such as:
Thus the answer would be each
multiple of and , which would provide the following equations:OR
Example Question #3 : Trigonometric Functions
Evaluate:
To evaluate
, break up each term into 3 parts and evaluate each term individually.
Simplify by combining the three terms.
Example Question #11 : Trigonometric Functions
What is the value of
?
Convert
in terms of sine and cosine.
Since theta is
radians, the value of is the y-value of the point on the unit circle at radians, and the value of corresponds to the x-value at that angle.The point on the unit circle at
radians is .Therefore,
and . Substitute these values and solve.
Example Question #1 : Find The Value Of Any Of The Six Trigonometric Functions
Solve:
First, solve the value of
.On the unit circle, the coordinate at
radians is . The sine value is the y-value, which is . Substitute this value back into the original problem.
Rationalize the denominator.
Example Question #4 : Find The Value Of Any Of The Six Trigonometric Functions
Find the exact answer for:
To evaluate
, solve each term individually.refers to the x-value of the coordinate at 60 degrees from the origin. The x-value of this special angle is .
refers to the y-value of the coordinate at 30 degrees. The y-value of this special angle is .
refers to the x-value of the coordinate at 30 degrees. The x-value is .
Combine the terms to solve
.
Example Question #11 : Trigonometric Functions
Find the value of
.
The value of
refers to the y-value of the coordinate that is located in the fourth quadrant.This angle
is also from the origin.Therefore, we are evaluating
.
Example Question #6 : Find The Value Of Any Of The Six Trigonometric Functions
Simplify the following expression:
Simplify the following expression:
Begin by locating the angle on the unit circle. -270 should lie on the same location as 90. We get there by starting at 0 and rotating clockwise
So, we know that
And since we know that sin refers to y-values, we know that
So therefore, our answer must be 1
