Topics in Trigonometric Functions
1
Basic Trigonometric Ratios and Standard Angles
- Six trigonometric ratios: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot defined for right triangles
- Standard angle values: 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° and their radian equivalents
- Reciprocal relationships between ratios
2
Measurement of Angles - Degrees and Radians
- Relationship between degrees and radians: π radians = 180°
- Arc length formula: s = rθ (θ in radians)
- Area of sector formula: A = (1/2)r²θ
3
Trigonometric Functions and Their Graphs
- Domain and range of each trigonometric function
- Periodic nature: sin and cos have period 2π, tan and cot have period π
- Key features: amplitude, period, phase shift, vertical shift
4
Trigonometric Identities
- Fundamental identities: Pythagorean, quotient, and reciprocal
- Techniques for proving identities: start with more complex side, work with one side only
- Common algebraic manipulations: factoring, combining fractions, rationalizing
