Solve related application problems. Describe the position of a particle experiencing circular motion. Recall that in defining the cosine and sine functions in Section 2.2, we assigned to each angle a position on the Unit Circle. Here we broaden our scope to include circles of radius r centered at the origin. Determining Cosine and Sine Consider for the moment the acute angle θ drawn below in standard position. Let be the point on the terminal side of θ which lies on the circle, and |
let be the point on the terminal side of θ which lies on the Unit Circle. Now consider dropping perpendiculars from P and Q to create two triangles, ∆OPA and ∆OQB. These triangles are similar23. Thus, it follows that, from which. We similarly find. Since, by definition, and, we get the coordinates of Q to be and. By reflecting these points through the x-axis, y-axis and origin, we obtain the result for all non-quadrantal angles θ, and we leave it to the reader to verify these formulas hold for the quadrantal angles. 23 Do you remember why? ,Qxy222xyr','Pxy'1xrrx'xrx'yry'cosx'sinycosxrsinyr 96 The Trigonometric Functions Not only can we describe the coordinates of Q in terms of and, but since the radius of the circle is, we can also express and in terms of the coordinates of Q. Throughout this textbook, by convention, the radius r of a circle is treated as positive as it relates to solving for trigonometric values. These results are summarized in the following theorem. Theorem 2.6. If is the point on the terminal side of an angle θ, plotted in standard position, which lies on the circle then and. Moreover, Note that in the case of the Unit Circle we have, so Theorem 2.6 reduces to our Unit Circle definitions of and. Example 2.5.1 1.

Assuming the Earth is a sphere, a cross-section through the poles produces a circle of radius 3960 miles. Viewing the Equator as the x-axis, the value we seek is the x-coordinate of the point indicated in the figure. Using Theorem 2.6, we get. Using a calculator in degree mode, we find. Hence, the radius of the circle of revolution at North Latitude 40.7608° is approximately 2999 miles. Position of a Particle in Circular Motion Theorem 2.6 gives us what we need to describe the position of an object traveling in a circular path of radius r with constant angular velocity ω. Suppose that at time t, the object has swept out an angle measuring θ radians. If we assume that the object is at the point when, the angle θ is in standard position. By definition,, which we rewrite as. According to Theorem 2.6, the location of the object on the circle is found using the equations and. With, we have and. Hence, at time t, the object is at the point. We have just argued the following. |

Determining the Other Four Circular Functions We have generalized the cosine and sine functions from coordinates on the Unit Circle to coordinates on circles of radius r.

For example, we could choose x = 8 and y = –2. The fact that all such points lie on the terminal side of θ is a consequence of the fact that the terminal side of θ is the portion of the line with slope –1 ∕ 4 which extends from the origin into Quadrant IV. 45sin csc5435cos sec5343tan cot.34yrryxrrxyxxy,Qxy0x0ycot4xy4414x1y22224117.rxy117sin17174417cos17171tan417csc17117sec4yrxryxryrx� |

We begin with graphs of the cosine and sine functions in Section 3.1, which lead into further discussion of their designation as sinusoids in Section 3.2. We notice the similarities between sine and cosine graphs, along with horizontal shifts that will turn a sine graph into a cosine graph, or vice versa. Graphs of sinusoids and their applications, including harmonic motion, in Section 3.2 are followed by graphs and properties of tangent and cotangent functions in Section 3.3. We end with Section 3.4, graphing secant and cosecant functions and observing properties of each of these functions, as well as the relationship between the two. Throughout Chapter 3, applications are introduced. Particular attention is paid to the graphing techniques that allow us to graph transformations of each function. This is an essential chapter in our textbook as it provides many of the tools we will need in applying identities and formulas, as well as solving trigonometric equations, in future chapters. 3.1 Graphs of the Cosine and Sine Functions 105 3.1 Graph |
s of the Cosine and Sine Functions Learning Objectives In this section you will: Graph the cosine and sine functions and their transformations. Identify the period. Learn the properties of the cosine and sine functions, including domain and range. Determine whether a function is even or odd. We return to our discussion of the circular (trigonometric) functions as functions of real numbers and turn our attention to graphing the cosine and sine functions in the Cartesian Plane. Before proceeding with graphs of these trigonometric functions, we note that the graphs of both functions are continuous and smooth. Geometrically this means the graphs of the cosine and sine functions have no jumps, gaps, holes, vertical asymptotes, corners or cusps. As we shall see, the graphs of both functions meander nicely and don’t cause any trouble. Graph of the Cosine Function To graph the cosine function, we use x as the independent variable and y as the dependent variable.27 This allows us to turn our attention to graphing the cosine and sine functions in the Cartesian Plane. We graph by making a table using some of the common values of x in the interval. This generates a portion of the cosine graph, which we call the fundamental cycle of. 27 The use of x and y in this context is not to be confused with the x- and y-coordinates of points on the Unit Circle which define cosine and sine. Using the term ‘trigonometric’ function as opposed to ‘circular’ function may help to avoid confusion. cosyx0,2cosyx 106 Graphs of the Trigonometric Functions x 0 1 0 π –1 x 2π 0 1 Noting that is defined for all real numbers x, we plot the points from the table to guide us in sketching the graph of on the interval. The fundamental cycle of. A few things about the graph above are worth mentioning: 1. This graph represents only part of the graph of. To get the entire graph, imagine copying and pasting this graph end to end infinitely in both directions (left and right) along the x-axis. 2.

An accurately scaled graph of. It is no accident that the graphs of and are so similar. The graph of is a result of the graph of being shifted units to the left. Try it! Period of the Cosine and Sine Functions Not only can we obtain a graph of the sine function by shifting the graph of the cosine function units to the left, we can shift the graph of by 2π units to the left and obtain a graph that is equivalent to the original graph of. The same can be said for shifts of 4π, 6π, 8π, ··· units to the left. We say that the cosine function is periodic, as defined below. Periodic Functions: A function f is said to be periodic if there is a real number p so that for all real numbers x in the domain of f. The smallest positive number p, if it exists, is called the period of f. We see that by the definition of periodic functions, is periodic since for any integer k. To determine the period of f, we need to |
find the smallest positive real number p so that for all real numbers x or, said differently, the smallest positive real number p such that for all real numbers x. We know that for all real numbers x but the question remains if any smaller real number will do the trick. Suppose and for all real numbers x.

From this we know that p is a multiple of 2π and, since the smallest positive multiple of 2π is 2π itself, we have the result. Similarly, we can show is periodic with 2π as its period. Having period 2π essentially means that we can completely understand everything about the functions and by studying one interval of length 2π, say. Even/Odd Properties of the Cosine and Sine Functions While we will explore the even and odd properties of the cosine and sine functions further in Section 4.1, for now it is worth revisiting the graphical test for symmetry as introduced in college algebra. Recall that we refer to a function as even if its graph is symmetric about the y-axis and a function as odd if |
its graph is symmetric about the origin. Observe the symmetry of the ‘accurately scaled’ graphs of the cosine and sine functions from earlier in this section. The graph of is symmetric about the y-axis. As will be proved algebraically in Section 4.1, the cosine function is an even function. The graph of is symmetric about the origin. The sine function is an odd function. From a previous algebra class, you may recall that, for an even function f,. If f is odd then. This is true for all values of x, and applies to the trigonometric functions as well. For the cosine function, an even function,. The sine function is odd, and thus. Domain and Range of the Cosine and Sine Functions The two functions and, both trigonometric functions of x, are defined for all real values of x. This is evident in the preceding graphs of cosine and sine. Or, going back to our Unit Circle definitions for cosine and sine, whether we think of identifying the real number t with the angle radians, or think of wrapping an oriented arc around the Unit Circle to find coordinates on the Unit Circle, it should be clear that both cosine and sine are defined for any real input number t. Thus, the domain of both and is. cos0cos0pcos1psingxxcosfxxsingxx0,2cosyxsinyxfxfxfxfxcoscosxxsinsinxxcosfxx� |

Divide the period of the function by ω to determine the period of the transformed function g. For sine and cosine, the period is 2π, so is the period of g. Note that ω is the number of times the cycle of g repeats on. 2. Find the vertical shift by determining the value of B. The graph will be shifted up by B if and down by if. The line will be the ‘baseline’. 3. Determine the vertical scaling,, also known as the amplitude. If, note that the graph will be reflected about the baseline. 4. The horizontal shift, also known as the phase shift, can be determined by rewriting as. This results in a horizontal shift to the left if or right if. In transforming one cycle of or, we need to keep track of the movement of some key points. We choose to track the points with x-values,,, and. These quarter marks correspond to quadrantal angles, and as such, mark the location of the zeros and the local extrema of these functions over exactly one period. Example 3.1.1. Graph one cycle of the function. Solution. We start with the following graph of the fundamental cycle of. The locations of quarter marks are denoted with dashed blue lines, and intersect the graph at the key points,,, and. The baseline of is marked by a dashed pink line. 0A0gxAfxBfx20,20BB0ByBA0AyBxx0 |

Step 1: We first determine the period. The period for is 2π. For coefficient of x is 3, so the graph of the function will cycle three times as fast as other words, it will repeat itself three times on the interval, with one cycle being, the. In completed in a period of. Step 2: We next determine the vertical shift. The graph of has a vertical shift of 1. By shifting the baseline for the graph of up by 1, we have a baseline of for the graph of. Step 3: The vertical scaling, or amplitude, of is 1. For the function, the sine function is multiplied by 2 so the function values are twice as much. Thus the amplitude is 2. Step 4: The horizontal shift is 0. Finally, we are ready to graph one cycle of. Since the horizontal shift is 0, we can leave the first quarter mark at. We then divide the period of by 4 to determine a distance of between quarter marks. The positions for quarter marks and the baseline of are used as a guide in graphing. 2sin31fxxsinyx2sin31fxxsinyx0,223� |

We can plot 5 key points of this function using the quarter mark locations and baseline as a guide, and finish the graph by connecting the points with a continuous smooth curve. Example 3.1.2.

Thus, the baseline will remain at. Step 3: The amplitude is. Since, the graph will be reflected about the baseline. Step 4: To determine the horizontal shift, the function can be rewritten as The horizontal shift is, indicating a shift to the right of units. Now we are ready to graph this transformation of. From the horizontal shift of, the first quarter mark will be at. The period is π, so the distance between quarter marks will be. We denote the positions of the quarter marks and the baseline. The amplitude is 3. While the basic shape is that of the cosine, the graph will be reflected about the baseline, resulting in reversed positions for the local maximum and minimum values.

To sketch two periods, we extend the graph for one period, as follows. The period of 2 appears twice in the preceding graph. A maximum y-value of 2 corresponds with x- values of and. The minimum y-value is and corresponds with x-values of and. The functions in this section are examples of sinusoids.

Use properties to graph sinusoidal functions. Write an equation of the form or from the graph of a sinusoidal function. Solve applications of sinusoids, including harmonic motion. Sinusoids can |
be characterized by four properties: period, amplitude, phase shift, and vertical shift. 1. We have already discussed period, that is, how long it takes for the sinusoid to complete one cycle. The standard period of both and is 2π, but horizontal scalings will change the period of the resulting sinusoid. 2. The amplitude of the sinusoid is a measure of how ‘tall’ the wave is, as indicated in the figure below. The amplitude of the standard cosine and sine functions is 1, but vertical scalings can alter this. 3. The phase shift of the sinusoid is the horizontal shift experienced by the fundamental cycle. We have seen that a phase (horizontal) shift of to the right takes to since. As the reader can verify, a phase shift of to the left takes to. 4. The vertical shift of a sinusoid is assumed to be 0, but we will state the more general case.

The parameter ω, which is stipulated to be positive, is called the (angular) frequency of the sinusoid and is the number of cycles the sinusoid completes over a 2π interval.

Note that each of the answers given in Example 3.2.3 is one choice out of many possible answers. For example, when fitting a sine function to the data, we could have chosen to start at taking. In this case, the phase shift is so for an answer of. Alternately, we could have extended the graph of to the left and considered a sine function starting at, and so on. Each of these formulas determine the same sinusoidal curve and the formulas are equivalent using identities. Applications of Sinusoids Sinusoids are used to model a fair number of behaviors that possess a wavelike motion, such as sound, voltage, and spring action. The following examples look at circular motion that can be expressed as a sinusoidal function. Example 3.2.4. A circle with radius 3 feet is mounted with its center 4 feet off the ground. The point closest to the ground is labeled P, as shown below. Sketch a graph of the height above the ground of the point P as the circle is rotated. Find a function h that gives the height in terms of the angle x of rotation. 7272727237.6712sin362Sxx11,222A12612sin362Sxxyfx51,22� |
� 126 Graphs of the Trigonometric Functions Solution. Sketching the height, we note that it will start 1 foot above the ground, then increase up to 7 feet above the ground, and continue to oscillate 3 feet above and below the center value of 4 feet. Although we could use a transformation of either the cosine or sine function, we start by looking for characteristics that would make one function easier to use than the other. Since this graph starts at its lowest value, when, using the cosine function would not require a horizontal shift. Thus, we choose to model the graph with a cosine function. We note that a standard cosine graph starts at the highest value so we do need to incorporate a vertical reflection. We see that the graph oscillates 3 feet above and below the horizontal center of the graph. The basic cosine graph has an amplitude of 1, so this graph has been vertically stretched by 3. Finally, to move the center of the circle up to a height of 4 feet, the graph has been vertically shifted up by 4. Putting these transformations together, we find that. 0x3cos4hxxxh(x)baseline 3.2 Properties of the Graphs of Sinusoids 127 Example 3.2.5. The London Eye is a huge Ferris wheel with a diameter of 135 meters (443 feet). It completes one rotation every 30 minutes. Riders board from a platform 2 meters above the ground. Express a rider’s height above ground as a function of time in minutes. Solution. The wheel takes 30 minutes to complete 1 revolution, so the height will oscillate with a period of 30 minutes. Because the rider boards at the lowest point, the height will start at the smallest value and increase, following the shape of a vertically reflected cosine curve:, for time t and height H. A phase shift is not required. With a diameter of 135 meters, the |
wheel has a radius of 67.5 meters. The height will oscillate with amplitude 67.5 meters above and below the horizontal center of the wheel. Passengers board 2 meters above the ground level, so the center of the wheel must be located meters above ground level. The horizontal midline of the oscillation will be at 69.5 meters.

The equations for harmonic motion can be used to describe a wide range of phenomena, from the motion of an object on a spring, to the response of an electronic circuit. Here, we restrict our attention to modeling a simple spring system. Before we jump into the mathematics, there are some Physics terms and concepts we need to discuss. In Physics, ‘mass’ is defined as a measure of an object’s resistance to straight-line motion whereas ‘weight’ is the amount of force (pull) gravity exerts on an object. An object’s mass cannot change,28 while its weight could change. An object which weighs 6 pounds on the surface of the Earth would weigh 1 pound on the surface of the Moon, but its mass is the same in both places. In the English system of units, ‘pounds’ (lbs.) is a measure of force (weight), and the corresponding unit of |
mass is the ‘slug’. In the SI system, the unit of force is ‘Newtons’ (N) and the associated unit of mass is the ‘kilogram’ (kg). We convert between mass and weight using the formula29. Here, w is the weight of the object, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. In the English system, and in the SI system,. Hence, on Earth a mass of 1 slug weighs 32 lbs. and a mass of 1 kg weighs 9.8 N.30 Suppose we attach an object with mass m to a spring as detected below. The weight of the object will stretch the spring. The system is said to be in ‘equilibrim’ when the weight of the object is perfectly balanced with the restorative force of the spring. How far the spring stretches to reach equilibrium depends on the spring’s ‘spring constant’. Usually denoted by the letter k, the spring constant relates the force F applied to the spring to the amount d the spring stretches in accordance with Hooke’s Law. If the object is released above or below the equilibrium position, or if the object is released with an upward or downward velocity, the object will bounce up and down on the end of the spring until some 28 Well, assuming the object isn’t subjected to relativistic speeds... 29 This is a consequence of Newton’s Second Law of Motion F=ma where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration. In our present setting, the force involved is weight which is caused by the acceleration due to gravity. 30 Note that 1 pound = 1 slug foot / second2 and 1 Newton = 1 kg meter / second2. wmg232feetsecondg29.8 meterssecondgFkd 3.2 Properties of the Graphs of Sinusoids 129 external force stops it. If we let denote the object’s displacement from the equilibrium position at time t, then means the object is at the equilibrium position, means the object is above the equilibrium position, means the object is below the equilibrium position. The function is called the ‘equation of motion’ of the object.31 at the above the below the equilibrium position equilibrium position equilibrium position If we ignore all other influences on the system except gravity and |
the spring force, then Physics tells us that gravity and the spring force will battle each other forever and the object will oscillate indefinitely. In this case, we describe the motion as ‘free’ (meaning there is no external force causing the motion) and ‘undamped’ (meaning we ignore friction caused by surrounding medium, which in our case is air). In the following theorem, which comes from Differential Equations, is a function of the mass m of the object, the spring constant k, the initial displacement of the object and initial velocity of the object. means the object is released from the equilibrium position, means the object is released above the equilibrium position and means the object is released below the equilibrium position. 31 To keep units compatible, if we are using the English system, we use feet (ft.) to measure displacement. If we are in the SI system, we measure displacement in meters (m). Time is always measured in seconds (s). xt0xt0xt0xtxt0xt0xt0xtxt0x0v00x00x00x 130 Graphs of the Trigonometric Functions means the object is released from rest, means the object is heading upwards and means the object is heading downwards.32 Theorem 3.4. Equation for Free Undamped Harmonic Motion: Suppose an object of mass m is suspended from a spring with spring constant k. If the initial displacement from the equilibrium position is and the initial velocity of the object is, then the displacement x from the equilibrium position at time t is given by where and and. It is a great exercise in ‘dimensional analysis’ to verify that the formulas in Theorem 3.4 work out so that ω has units and A has units ft. or m, depending on which system we choose. Example 3.2.6. Suppose an object weighing 64 pounds stretches a spring 8 feet. 1. If an object is attached to the spring and released 3 feet below the equilibrium position from rest, find the equation of motion of |
the object,. When does the object first pass through the equilibrium position? Is the object heading upwards or downwards at this instant? 2. If the object is attached to the spring and released 3 feet below the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 8 feet per second, find the equation of motion of the object,. What is the longest distance the object travels above the equilibrium position? When does this first happen? Solution. In order to use the formulas in Theorem 3.4, we first need to determine the spring constant k and the mass m of the object. We know the object weighs 64 lbs. and stretches the spring 8 ft. Using Hooke’s Law with and, we get 32 The sign conventions here are carried over from Physics. If not for the spring, the object would fall towards the ground, which is the natural or positive direction. Since the spring force acts in direct oppostition to gravity, any movement upwards is considered negative. 00v00v00v0x0vsinxtAtkm2200vAx0sinAx0cosAv1sxtxt64F8d 3.2 Properties of the Graphs of Sinusoids 131 To find m, we use with lbs. and. We get slugs. We can now proceed to apply Theorem 3..4. 1. To find the equation of motion,, we must determine values for A, ω and ϕ. We begin with ω. Now, since the object is released 3 feet below the equilibrium position, from rest, and. We use these values, along with, to find A. To determine the phase ϕ, we use and, along with a formula from Theorem 3.4. Hence, the equation of motion is. 648lbs.8ft.Fkdkk Hooke's Lawwmg64w2.32ftgs� |

The object first passes through the equilibrium position at the smallest positive t value, which in this case is seconds after the start of the motion. Common sense suggests that if we release the object below the equilibrium position, the object should be traveling upwards when it first passes through it. To check this answer, we graph one cycle of. Since our applied domain in this situation is, and the period of, we graph over the interval is. Remembering that means the object is below the equilibrium position and means the object is above the equilibrium position, the fact our graph is crossing through the t-axis at confirms our answer. 2. The only difference between this problem and the previous problem is that we now release the object with an upward velocity of 8 ft./s.

Knowing whether the cosine is positive or negative will determine which of those quadrants ϕ resides in. Since we know, and, the formula for from Theorem 3.4. will help us find the cosine. This tells us that ϕ is in Quadrant II, so we have. Hence,. Now, since the amplitude is 5, the object will travel at most 5 feet above the equilibrium position.

Plotting this information followed by the usual ‘copy and paste’ produces the following two graphs. The graph of over. The graph of, with fundamental cycle highlighted. From the graph, it appears the tangent function is periodic with period π. This is, in fact, the case as we will prove in Section 4.2, following the introduction of the sum identity for tangent.

the period of transformations will be. The vertical scaling is, but tangent and cotangent do not have amplitude since they do not possess the wavelike characteristics of the sine and cosine functions. The vertical shift is B, but a baseline is not defined for transformations of the tangent and cotangent functions.

The range of, as observed graphically, includes all real numbers y 1 Provided sec(α) and sec(β) are defined, sec(α) = sec(β) if and only if cos(α) = cos(β).

Section 4.1 advances our study of even/odd identities and includes algebraic proofs of these identities. In Section 4.2, we discover the essential sum and difference identities upon which many of the remaining identities and formulas depend. Section 4.3 introduces the double angles identities, from which the power reduction and half angle formulas are derived in Section 4.4. Along with the sum and difference |
identities, the half angle formulas will help us obtain exact values for trigonometric functions of some ‘non-common’ angles. The product to sum and sum to product formulas introduced in Section 4.5 will allow further manipulation of trigonometric expressions. Finally, Section 4.6 revisits the formulas of sinusoids first introduced in Section 3.2. With the assistance of the sum and difference identities, we may now write sinusoidal formulas in a standard format that will simplify graphing. Throughout Chapter 4, attention will be paid to finding exact values of trigonometric functions, writing trigonometric expressions in varying formats, and verifying trigonometric identities. These skills will be important in the future study of calculus. 167 4.1 The Even/Odd Identities Learning Objectives In this section you will: Learn the even/odd identities. Use the even/odd identities in simplifying trigonometric expressions. Use the even/odd identities in verifying trigonometric identities. In Section 2.4, we saw the utility of the Pythagorean identities, Theorem 2.5, along with the reciprocal and quotient identities from Theorem 2.3. Not only did these identities help us compute the values of the circular functions for angles, they were also useful in simplifying expressions involving the circular functions. In this section, we formally introduce the even/odd identities1, while recalling their graphical significance from Chapter 3. The Even/Odd Identities Theorem 4.1. The Even/Odd Identities: For all applicable angles θ, In light of the reciprocal and quotient identities, Theorem 2.3, it suffices to show and. The remaining four circular functions can be expressed in terms of and so the proofs of their even/odd identities are left as exercises. Consider an angle θ plotted in standard position. Let be the angle coterminal with θ with. (We can construct the angle by rotating counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis to the terminal side of θ as pictured to the right.) Since θ and are coterminal, and. 1 As mentioned at the end of Section 2.3, properties of the circular functions, when thought of as functions of angles in radian measure, hold equally well if we view these functions as functions of real numbers. Not surprisingly, |
the even/odd properties of the circular functions are so named because they identify cosine and secant as even functions, while the remaining four circular functions are odd. sinsincsccsccoscossecsectantancotcotcoscossinsincossin0002000coscos0sinsin 168 We now consider the angles and. Since θ is coterminal with, there is some integer k so that. Therefore, Since k is an integer, so is –k, which means –θ is coterminal with. Hence, and. Let P and Q denote the points on the terminal sides of and, respectively, which lie on the Unit Circle. By definition, the coordinates of P are and the coordinates of Q are. Since and sweep out congruent central sectors of the Unit Circle, it follows that the points P and Q are symmetric about the x-axis. Thus, and. Since the cosines and sines of and are the same as those for θ and –θ, respectively, we get and, as |
required. Simplifying Expressions The even/odd identities are readily demonstrated using any of the common angles noted in Section 2.2. Their true utility, however, lies not in computation, but in simplifying expressions involving the circular functions. Example 4.1.1.

Learn and apply the cofunction identities. We begin with a theorem introducing the sum and difference identities for the cosine function, followed by a proof of the theorem. The Sum and Difference Identities for the Cosine Function Theorem 4.2: Sum and Difference Identities for Cosine. We first prove the result for differences. As in the proof of the even/odd identities, we can reduce the proof for general angles and to angles and, coterminal with and, respectively, each of which measure between 0 and 2π radians. Since and are coterminal, as are and, it follows that is coterminal with. Consider the following case where. coscoscossinsincoscoscossinsin0000 |

Since and, and, and, are all coterminal pairs of angles, we have 1 In the picture, the triangles POQ and AOB are congruent. However, α0 – β0 could be 0 or it could be π, neither of which makes a triangle. Or, α0 – β0 could be larger than π, which makes a triangle, just not the one we’ve drawn.

Sum and Difference Identities: For all applicable angles α and β, In the statement of Theorem 4.5, we have combined the cases for the sum ‘+’ and difference ‘–‘ of angles into one formula. The convention is that if you want the formula for the sum ‘+’ of two angles, use the top sign in the formula; for the difference ‘–‘ use the bottom sign. For example,. We finish this section by, as promised in Section 3.3, proving algebraically that the period of the tangent function is π. Recall that a function f is periodic if there is a real number p so that for all real numbers t in the domain of f. The smallest positive number p, if it exists, is called the period of f. To prove that the period of is π, we appeal to the sum identity for tangents. This tells us that the tangent is a periodic function and that the period of is at most π. To show that it is exactly π, suppose p is a positive real number so that for all real numbers x. For, we have which means p is a multiple of π. The smallest positive multiple of π is π itself, so we have established that the period of the tangent function is π. sinsincoscossincoscoscossinsin |

If your first reaction to is that x should be the cosine of θ, then you have indeed learned something. However, context is everything. Here, x is just a variable. It does not necessarily represent the x-coordinate of a point on the Unit Circle. Here, x represents the quantity, and what we wish to know is how to express in terms of x. We will see more of this kind of thing in Chapter 5 and, as usual, this is something we need for calculus. We start with the double angle identity for sine: We need to write in terms of x to finish the problem. There are two different methods that come readily to mind, both of which are good to know. The first is purely algebraic, using the Pythagorean identity: The second method, preferred by many, provides a visual approach for determining triangle with acute angle θ and, noting that. We sketch a right we label the hypotenuse with length 1 and the side opposite θ with length x.

to start with the left side. Beginning with the right side would have required some thinking ahead, possibly working backwards. Try it! When using identities to simplify a trigonometric expression, solve a trigonometric equation or verify a trigonometric identity, there are usually several paths to a desired result. There is no set rule as to what side should be manipulated, although generally one of the paths will result in a simpler solution. In verifying identities, the strategies established in Section 2.4 will help, but there is no substitute for practice. 22222tan2tan1tansecsin2cos1cossin2coscos2sincossin2from Pythagorean identityfrom reciprocal & quotient identitiesfrom double angle identity for sine222tantan21tan12tantan11tantan21tantan2cottan� |

Learn and apply the half angle formulas for sine, cosine and tangent. In Section 4.3, the double angle identities allowed us to write as powers of sine and/or cosine. In calculus, we have occasion to do the reverse; that is, reduce the power of sine and cosine. Power Reduction Formulas Solving the identity for and the identity for result in the aptly-named ‘power reduction’ formulas below. Theorem 4.7. Power Reduction Formulas: For all angles θ, Example 4.4.1. Rewrite as a sum and/or difference of cosines to the first power. Solution.
