(15 cards)
Trigonometric Function
A function whose rule is defined by a trigonometric ratio
Trigonometric Ratio
Compares the lengths of two sides of the triangle specifically in relationship to one of the acute angles
Angle is in Standard Form
When the vertex is on the origin and one ray lies on the positive x axis
One Radian
The measure of the angle formed when the radius is equivalent to the length of the intercepted arc
360 Degrees
2π radians
180 Degrees
π radians
Coterminal Angles
Angles in standard position with the same terminal side
Steps to Using Reference Angles to Find Trig Values
- Find the measure of the reference angle
- Identify the trig function for the reference angle
- Adjust the sign if needed
Parent Function
y=sinø
Period
The length of a cycle
Periodic Functions
Functions that repeat exactly in regular intervals
Cycles
Regular intervals periodic functions repeat in
General Form
y=a___(b(x-c))+d
Frequency
Value used to determine the period
a=
b=
c=
d=
a= amplitude
b= frequency
c= phase shift
d= midline value
