Revision Notes — Trigonometric Functions
Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Trigonometric Functions for JEE Mains Mathematics preparation.
Key Topics to Revise
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
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
