Section 31 Radian Measure I Radian Measure

A Terminology

When a central angle (θ) intercepts the circumference of a circle the length of the piece subtended (cut off) is called the arc length (s)

B The radian measure of an angle (θ) is the ratio of the arc length (s) to the radius of the circle (r) ie

C If the arc length subtended by angle θ is equal to the radius (ie when s = r) then θ has a measure of 1 radian

D Since a radian is defined as a ratio of two lengths the units cancel and the measure is considered unit-less Therefore if an angle measure is written with no degree symbol it is assumed to be in radians Though it is not essential it is often customary to write radians or rads after an input measured in radians especially when doing conversions and canceling units

E In many applications of trigonometry radian measure is preferred over degree measure because it simplifies calculation and allows us to use the set of real numbers as the domain of the trig functions rather than just angles II Converting Standard Angles Between Degrees and Radians

Section 33 The Unit Circle and Circular Functions I Introduction

In the 1600s scientists began using trigonometry to solve problems in physics and engineering Such applications necessitated extending the domains of the trigonometric functions to include all real numbers not just a set of angles This extension was accomplished by using a correspondence between an angle and the length of an arc on a unit circle (a circle with a radius of 1 centered on the origin with equation 1yx 22 =+ ) II The Unit Circle

Imagine that the real number line is wrapped around a unit circle Zero is at the point (1 0) the positive numbers wrap in a counterclockwise direction and the negative numbers wrap in a clockwise direction Each real number t corresponds to a point (x y) on the circle If central angle θ in standard position measured in radians subtends an arc length of t then according to the arc length formula (s = rθ) t = θ

LHS Trig 8th ed Ch 3 Notes F07 OrsquoBrien

Thus on a unit circle the measure of a central angle and the length of its arc can both be represented by the same real number t

III The Unit Circle Definitions of the Trigonometric Functions

If t is a real number and (x y) is the point on the unit circle corresponding to t then

cos t = x sin t = y tan t = 0 xxy

ne

sec t = 0 xx1

ne csc t = 0y y1

ne cot t = 0y yx

IV Domains of the Circular Functions

Since x = 0 when 2π

t = and 2

3πt = sec t and tan t which both have x in the denominator are not

defined there or at any odd multiple of 2π Thus the domain of sec t and tan t is

Since y = 0 at 0t = πt = and 2πt = csc t and cot t which both have y in the denominator are undefined at any integer multiple of π Thus the domain of cot t and csc t is πn t|t sdotne

Sine and cosine do not have any restrictions on their domain thus their domain is ( )infininfinminus

The x-value of a point on the unit circle tells you cos t and the y-value tells you sin t The sign of the function values depends on where the angle terminates

Quadrant I x and y are both positive therefore all function values are positive Quadrant II x is negative and y is positive therefore only sine and cosecant are positive Quadrant III x and y are both negative therefore only tangent and cotangent are positive Quadrant IV x is positive and y is negative therefore only cosine and secant are positive

Section 33 The Unit Circle and Circular Functions I Introduction

In the 1600s scientists began using trigonometry to solve problems in physics and engineering Such applications necessitated extending the domains of the trigonometric functions to include all real numbers not just a set of angles This extension was accomplished by using a correspondence between an angle and the length of an arc on a unit circle (a circle with a radius of 1 centered on the origin with equation 1yx 22 =+ ) II The Unit Circle

Imagine that the real number line is wrapped around a unit circle Zero is at the point (1 0) the positive numbers wrap in a counterclockwise direction and the negative numbers wrap in a clockwise direction Each real number t corresponds to a point (x y) on the circle If central angle θ in standard position measured in radians subtends an arc length of t then according to the arc length formula (s = rθ) t = θ

Thus on a unit circle the measure of a central angle and the length of its arc can both be represented by the same real number t

III The Unit Circle Definitions of the Trigonometric Functions

If t is a real number and (x y) is the point on the unit circle corresponding to t then

cos t = x sin t = y tan t = 0 xxy

sec t = 0 xx1

ne csc t = 0y y1

ne cot t = 0y yx

Since y = 0 at 0t = πt = and 2πt = csc t and cot t which both have y in the denominator are undefined at any integer multiple of π Thus the domain of cot t and csc t is πn t|t sdotne

Section 32 Applications of Radian Measure I Arc Length

The length (s) of the arc intercepted on a circle of radius (r) by a central angle θ (measured in radians) is given by the product of the radius and the angle ie s = rmiddotθ

Section 33 The Unit Circle and Circular Functions I Introduction

In the 1600s scientists began using trigonometry to solve problems in physics and engineering Such applications necessitated extending the domains of the trigonometric functions to include all real numbers not just a set of angles This extension was accomplished by using a correspondence between an angle and the length of an arc on a unit circle (a circle with a radius of 1 centered on the origin with equation 1yx 22 =+ ) II The Unit Circle

Imagine that the real number line is wrapped around a unit circle Zero is at the point (1 0) the positive numbers wrap in a counterclockwise direction and the negative numbers wrap in a clockwise direction Each real number t corresponds to a point (x y) on the circle If central angle θ in standard position measured in radians subtends an arc length of t then according to the arc length formula (s = rθ) t = θ

LHS Trig 8th ed Ch 3 Notes F07 OrsquoBrien

Thus on a unit circle the measure of a central angle and the length of its arc can both be represented by the same real number t

III The Unit Circle Definitions of the Trigonometric Functions

If t is a real number and (x y) is the point on the unit circle corresponding to t then

cos t = x sin t = y tan t = 0 xxy

Section 33 The Unit Circle and Circular Functions I Introduction

In the 1600s scientists began using trigonometry to solve problems in physics and engineering Such applications necessitated extending the domains of the trigonometric functions to include all real numbers not just a set of angles This extension was accomplished by using a correspondence between an angle and the length of an arc on a unit circle (a circle with a radius of 1 centered on the origin with equation 1yx 22 =+ ) II The Unit Circle

Imagine that the real number line is wrapped around a unit circle Zero is at the point (1 0) the positive numbers wrap in a counterclockwise direction and the negative numbers wrap in a clockwise direction Each real number t corresponds to a point (x y) on the circle If central angle θ in standard position measured in radians subtends an arc length of t then according to the arc length formula (s = rθ) t = θ

LHS Trig 8th ed Ch 3 Notes F07 OrsquoBrien

7

Thus on a unit circle the measure of a central angle and the length of its arc can both be represented by the same real number t

III The Unit Circle Definitions of the Trigonometric Functions

If t is a real number and (x y) is the point on the unit circle corresponding to t then

cos t = x sin t = y tan t = 0 xxy

ne

sec t = 0 xx1

ne csc t = 0y y1

ne cot t = 0y yx

IV Domains of the Circular Functions

Since x = 0 when 2π

Since y = 0 at 0t = πt = and 2πt = csc t and cot t which both have y in the denominator are undefined at any integer multiple of π Thus the domain of cot t and csc t is πn t|t sdotne

Sine and cosine do not have any restrictions on their domain thus their domain is ( )infininfinminus

Example 6 Find v for a point on the tread of a tire of radius 18 cm rotating 35 times per min (32)

Example 7 The earth revolves on its axis once every 24 hours Assuming that Earthrsquos radius is 6400 km find the following (38)

a angular speed of Earth in radians per day and radians per hour

b linear speed at the North Pole or South Pole

Since r = 0 at the North or South Pole v = 0 at the North or South Pole c linear speed at Quito Ecuador a city on the equator

At the equator r = 6400 km so 12800π2π6400v =sdot= km per day

or 533π12π6400v asympsdot= km per hour

d linear speed at Salem Oregon (halfway from the equator to the North Pole)

Since Salem is halfway between the equator and the North Pole if we draw a radius from the center of the earth to Salem it forms a 45deg angle with the equator Thus
