Trigonometry Flashcards
Sine rule to find an angle
SinA over a is equal to SinB over b
Sine Rule to find a side
a over sinA is equal to b over sinB
Cosine rule to find a side
one buddy buddy
a squared = b squared plus c squared minus two bc cosA
Complementary angles
Sin♎️= cos(90-♎️) and visa versa Tan♎️= cot(90-♎️) and visa versa Cosec♎️= sec(90-♎️) and visa versa
Types of trigonometric equations
1) single angle
2) multiple angle
3) square angle
4) compound angles
Single angles
Solve for ♎️ within a given domain.
Multiple angle
When solving a multiple angle you must
1) multiply the domain by the coefficient of ♎️ and therefore introduce a new pronumeral
e. g. Sin2♎️=1/2 for 0 sinx=1/2 for 0<720
2) solve for the new pronumeral e.g. x
3) substitute the unknown term back in for x and solve
Square angle
When solving a square angle you must move the square outside the brackets and root the other side. You will end up with a plus minus, ie both positive and negative angles in all fourvquadrants
Compound angle
In a compound angle a term inside brackets will see ♎️ added, subtracted, multiplied, divided by numbers. Much like double angles, whatever is happening to ♎️ must happen to the domain when the bracketed term is let to be x or a pronumeral.
Trig graphs sinx and cosecx
Sinx- walks up the mountain and down the valley
Cosecx- suction cups
Trig graphs cosx and secx
Cosx- gets cut short at 1/2 a mountain ‘late bloomer’
Secx- 1/2 suction cups
Trig graphs tanx and cotx
Tanx- 3 strip vertical flag
Cotx- rebel goes opposite way
Trig identity 1
Tan♎️=Sin♎️/cos♎️
Trig identity 2
Cot♎️=Cos♎️/sin♎️
Trig identity 3
Sin squared ♎️ + cos squared ♎️ = 1
Trig identity 4
1 + cot squared ♎️= cosec squared ♎️
