  • Trigonometric Functions
    Trigonometric Functions This worksheet covers the basic characteristics of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant trigonometric functions. Sine Function: f(x) = sin (x) • Graph • Domain: all real numbers • Range: [-1 , 1] • Period = 2π • x intercepts: x = kπ , where k is an integer. • y intercepts: y = 0 • Maximum points: (π/2 + 2kπ, 1), where k is an integer. • Minimum points: (3π/2 + 2kπ, -1), where k is an integer. • Symmetry: since sin (–x) = –sin (x) then sin(x) is an odd function and its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin (0, 0). • Intervals of increase/decrease: over one period and from 0 to 2π, sin (x) is increasing on the intervals (0, π/2) and (3π/2 , 2π), and decreasing on the interval (π/2 , 3π/2).

  • Lecture 5: Complex Logarithm and Trigonometric Functions
    LECTURE 5: COMPLEX LOGARITHM AND TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Let C∗ = C \{0}. Recall that exp : C → C∗ is surjective (onto), that is, given w ∈ C∗ with w = ρ(cos φ + i sin φ), ρ = |w|, φ = Arg w we have ez = w where z = ln ρ + iφ (ln stands for the real log) Since exponential is not injective (one one) it does not make sense to talk about the inverse of this function. However, we also know that exp : H → C∗ is bijective. So, what is the inverse of this function? Well, that is the logarithm. We start with a general definition Definition 1. For z ∈ C∗ we define log z = ln |z| + i argz. Here ln |z| stands for the real logarithm of |z|. Since argz = Argz + 2kπ, k ∈ Z it follows that log z is not well defined as a function (it is multivalued), which is something we find difficult to handle. It is time for another definition. Definition 2. For z ∈ C∗ the principal value of the logarithm is defined as Log z = ln |z| + i Argz. Thus the connection between the two definitions is Log z + 2kπ = log z for some k ∈ Z. Also note that Log : C∗ → H is well defined (now it is single valued). Remark: We have the following observations to make, (1) If z 6= 0 then eLog z = eln |z|+i Argz = z (What about Log (ez)?). (2) Suppose x is a positive real number then Log x = ln x + i Argx = ln x (for positive real numbers we do not get anything new).

For many mathematicians, a certain characteristic about an area of mathematics will lure him/her to study that area further. That characteristic might be an interesting conclusion, an intricate implication, or an appreciation of the impact that the area has upon mathematics. The particular area that we will be exploring is Euler's Formula, eix = cos x + i sin x, and as a result, Euler's Identity, eiπ + 1 = 0. Throughout this paper, we will develop an appreciation for Euler's Formula as it combines the seemingly unrelated exponential functions, imaginary numbers, and trigonometric functions into a single formula. To appreciate and further understand Euler's Formula, we will give attention to the individual aspects of the formula, and develop the necessary tools to prove it.

    Plane Trigonometry - Lecture 16 Section 3.2: The Law of Cosines Summary: http://www.math.ksu.edu/~gerald/math150/sum16.pdf Course page: http://www.math.ksu.edu/~gerald/math150/ Gerald Hoehn April 1, 2019 Law of cosines Theorem Let ∆ABC any triangle, then c2 = a2 + b2 − 2ab cos γ b2 = a2 + c2 − 2ac cos β a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bc cos α We may reformulate the statement also in word form. Theorem In any triangle, the square of the length of a side equals the sum of the squares of the length of the other two sides minus twice the product of the length of the other two sides and the cosine of the angle between them. Solving Triangles For solving triangles ∆ABC one needs at least three of the six quantities a, b, and c and α, β, γ. One distinguishes six essential different cases forming three classes: I AAA case: Three angles given. I AAS case: Two angles and a side opposite one of them given. I ASA case: Two angles and the side between them given. I SSA case: Two sides and an angle opposite one of them given. I SAS case: Two sides and the angle between them given. I SSS case: Three sides given. The case AAA cannot be solved. The cases AAS, ASA and SSA are solved by using the law of sines. The cases SAS, SSS are solved by using the law of cosines. Solving Triangles: the SAS case For the SAS case a unique solution always exists. Three steps: 1. Use the law of cosines to determine the length of the third side opposite to the given angle.

  • 6.2 Law of Cosines
    6.2 Law of Cosines The Law of Sines can’t be used directly to solve triangles if we know two sides and the angle between them or if we know all three sides. In this two cases, the Law of Cosines applies. Law of Cosines: In any triangle ABC , we have a2 b 2 c 2 2 bc cos A b2 a 2 c 2 2 ac cos B c2 a 2 b 2 2 ab cos C Proof: To prove the Law of Cosines, place triangle so that A is at the origin, as shown in the Figure below. The coordinates of the vertices BC and are (c ,0) and (b cos A , b sin A ) , respectively. Using the Distance Formula, we have a2( c b cos) A 2 (0 b sin) A 2 =c2 2bc cos A b 2 cos 2 A b 2 sin 2 A =c2 2bc cos A b 2 (cos 2 A sin 2 A ) =c22 2bc cos A b =b22 c 2 bc cos A Example: A tunnel is to be built through a mountain. To estimate the length of the tunnel, a surveyor makes the measurements shown in the Figure below. Use the surveyor’s data to approximate the length of the tunnel. Solution: c2 a 2 b 2 2 ab cos C 21222 388 2 212 388cos82.4 173730.23 c 173730.23 416.8 Thus, the tunnel will be approximately 417 ft long. Example: The sides of a triangle are a5, b 8, and c 12.

This is the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) case, in which we may label the angle C and its two sides a and b and so we can solve for the side c. Or, if we have the Side-Side-Side (SSS) situation, in which we know all three sides, we can label one angle C and solve for that angle in terms of the sides a; b and c, using the law of cosines.

  • Meaning and Understanding of School Mathematical Concepts by Secondary Students: the Study of Sine and Cosine
    EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019, 15(12), em1782 ISSN:1305-8223 (online) OPEN ACCESS Research Paper https://doi.org/10.29333/ejmste/110490 Meaning and Understanding of School Mathematical Concepts by Secondary Students: The Study of Sine and Cosine Enrique Martín-Fernández 1*, Juan Francisco Ruiz-Hidalgo 1, Luis Rico 1 1 Department of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Education, University of Granada, Campus Universitario Cartuja s/n, 18011, Granada, SPAIN Received 18 November 2018 ▪ Revised 5 April 2019 ▪ Accepted 12 April 2019 ABSTRACT Meaning and understanding are didactic notions appropriate to work on concept comprehension, curricular design, and knowledge assessment. This document aims to delve into the meaning of school mathematical concepts through their semantic analysis. This analysis is used to identify and establish the basic meaning of a mathematical concept and to value its understanding. To illustrate the study, we have chosen the trigonometric notions of sine and cosine of an angle. The work exemplifies some findings of an exploratory study carried out with high school students between 16 and 17 years of age; it collects the variety of emergent notions and elements related to the trigonometric concepts involved when answering on the categories of meaning which have been asked for. We gather the study data through a semantic questionnaire and analyze the responses using an established framework. The subjects provide a diversity of meanings, interpreted and structured by semantic categories. These meanings underline different understandings of the sine and cosine, according to the inferred themes, such as length, ratio, angle and the calculation of a magnitude.

  • Using Differentials to Differentiate Trigonometric and Exponential Functions Tevian Dray
    Using Differentials to Differentiate Trigonometric and Exponential Functions Tevian Dray Tevian Dray ([email protected]) received his B.S. in mathematics from MIT in 1976, his Ph.D. in mathematics from Berkeley in 1981, spent several years as a physics postdoc, and is now a professor of mathematics at Oregon State University. A Fellow of the American Physical Society for his early work in general relativity, his current research interests include the octonions as well as science education. He directs the Vector Calculus Bridge Project. (http://www.math.oregonstate.edu/bridge) Differentiating a polynomial is easy. To differentiate u2 with respect to u, start by computing d.u2/ D .u C du/2 − u2 D 2u du C du2; and then dropping the last term, an operation that can be justified in terms of limits. Differential notation, in general, can be regarded as a shorthand for a formal limit argument. Still more informally, one can argue that du is small compared to u, so that the last term can be ignored at the level of approximation needed. After dropping du2 and dividing by du, one obtains the derivative, namely d.u2/=du D 2u. Even if one regards this process as merely a heuristic procedure, it is a good one, as it always gives the correct answer for a polynomial. (Physicists are particularly good at knowing what approximations are appropriate in a given physical context. A physicist might describe du as being much smaller than the scale imposed by the physical situation, but not so small that quantum mechanics matters.) However, this procedure does not suffice for trigonometric functions.

  • Originally TRIGONOMETRY Was That Branch of Mathematics Concerned
    Originally TRIGONOMETRY was that branch of mathematics concerned with solving triangles using trigonometric ratios which were seen as properties of triangles rather than of angles. The word Trigonometry comes from the Greek words: Treis= three, Gonia=angle, and Metron=measure. Therefore, the word trigonometry means “measurement of triangles.” This unit will explore trigonometry as it relates to right triangles. Math 99 Intermediate Algebra Whatcom Community College revised by H Ypma Winter 2003 Introduction to Trigonometry Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that studies the relationship between angles and sides of a triangle. Using “special trig functions”, you will be able to calculate the height of a tree from its shadow or the distance across a wide lake by walking and measuring along its shore. Let’s begin by working with a RIGHT TRIANGLE (one with a 90° angle in it) and using it to define those “special trig functions” we mentioned earlier. A First of all, we will use standard notation when labeling our right triangles. Capital letters will represent the vertices or angles; A, B, and C will be our standard letters. C will be used to represent the right angle. We will use lower case c b letters to represent the sides; a, b, and c will be the standard choices here. The side opposite the angle labeled A will be side “a”, the side opposite angle B will be “b” and the side opposite angle C will be “c”. C B a In a Right Triangle, the right angle will always measure 90° and the two other angles will add up to 90° .
