Test 1 Flashcards
When is an angle quadrantal
If the terminal side is on an axis
Where is the Minute/Second notation for degrees on the calculator
Under apps, in the angles section (‘ or ‘’)
How do you turn 45°10’15’’ into degrees
Multiply the 10’ by 1/60 (bc min) and the 15’’ by 1/3600 (bc seconds) and add to 45° to get ~45.1708
How to turn 21.256 to DMS form
Multiply the .256 by 60 & round to get 15. Take the decimal that was on the 15 and multiply that by 60; round to get 22 to get: 22°15’22’’
what does one radian look like?
It’s the angle on a unit circle where the arc length & radius both equal 1
How should you format your test answers??
NO DECIMALS UNLESS SPECIFIED (even leave sqrts)
Circle sector area formula
A = πr²/2 * (x°/360°)
linear speed of circular moving object w/ variable explanation
v = s/t: v = linear speed, s = distance, t = time
Angular speed of circular moving object w/ variable explanation
ω = θ/t: ω = angular speed, θ = angle the object makes going around the circle; t = time
How are v & ω related? (hint: 4 steps to reach it) w/ variable explanation, & 2 resulting formulas
v = s/t = rθ/t = rω: linear speed = distance/time = (radius * central angle)/time = radius * angular speed
So: linear = radius * angular, and angular = linear/radius
how to find cscθ
Cosecant: hyp/opp or 1/sinθ
how to find secθ
Secant: hyp/adj or 1/cosθ
2 ways to handle sqrts on test
Don’t expand them; rationalize them
2 Comp. Angle Theorem (CAT) formulas and which angles they come from on the triangle
sinβ = cos α
tanβ = cot α
both of the angles other than the 90° one, which add up to 90°
Measures for 45-45-90 triangle
