6.1 Trigonometric Ratios for Any Angle in Standard Position Date:

Standard Position: An angle is in standard position when the initial arm starts at (0, 0) and lies on the positive x-axis; the terminal arm is rotated about (0, 0).

Angles in standard position are graphed on the same plane as functions, and we label the four sections as quadrants:

Example 1: For each angle, draw the angle in standard position:a) b)

Suppose the ray continues to rotate. When the ray first reaches its starting position it forms an angle of ______ (if rotating counter-clockwise) and form an angle of ______ (if rotating clockwise). After rotating all around until a full cycle, you will end on the same position as standard position, this new angle will be either greater than 360° or less than −360°.

Example 2: For each angle in example 1, determine the angle after a full cycle around.

When a ray rotates more than 1 revolution, it forms angles greater than 720° (when rotating counter-clockwise) and form angles less than −720° (when rotating clock-wise).

Example 3: For each angle in example 1, determine the angle after 2 full cycles around.

You can continuously adding or subtracting 360° and you will end up with the same terminal forever. These values are called coterminal angles.

Coterminal Angles: Two or more angles in standard position, when the position of P is the same for each angle. When θ represents any angle, then any angle coterminal with θ is represented by these expressions, where n is any integer.

6.3 Radian Measure & 6.2 Angles in Standard Position and Arc Length Date:

A radian is a unit for measuring angles. Radians are different than degrees and in many situations, more useful.

Radian Measure

In a circle with radius r:

A central angle of 1 radian is subtended by an arc length r.

The relationship between Radians and Degrees

______ radians is equal to ______ degrees.

Converting Radians to Degrees Converting Degrees to Radians

Important: any angle measure given without a unit is assumed to be in radians.

Example 1: Convert each of the following to radians:a) 30° b) 60° c) 45° d) 225°

Using Graphing CalculatorExample 6: In the West Kootenay town the sunrise for a non-leap year, can be found using the following formula:

Where t is the time in hours after midnight, and d is the number of the day in the year.

a) Use the formula to determine to the nearest minute when the sun rose on February 14, the 45th day of the year.

b) Use the formula to determine the first day of the year when the sun rose before 6:30 a.m., and the last date of the year when the sun rose before 6:30 a.m.

c) For how many days does the sun rise before 6:30 a.m.?

Using a Sinusoidal Functions to Model Given DataExample 7: The following data show the predicted tide heights every 2 hours, starting at midnight, for St. Andrews, PEI, on March 9, 2011:(00, 4.6), (02, 6.5), (04, 5.7), (06, 3.5), (08, 1.4), (10, 1.7), (12, 4.0), (14, 6.1), (16, 5.8), (18, 3.9), (20, 1.8), (22, 1.7)a) Graph the data, and then write an equation of a sinusoidal function that models that data.

NOTE: the graph is NOT a perfect cosine function, but it is close enough to make a sinusoidal model reasonable.

b) Use technology to graph the function in part a. Estimate the tide height at 17:00 (5:00 pm). Give the answer to the nearest tenth of a metre.
