Students define sine, cosine, and tangent of 𝜃, where 𝜃 is the angle measure of an acute angle of a right triangle. Students denote sine, cosine, and tangent as sin, cos, and tan, respectively. If ∠ is an acute angle whose measure in degrees is 𝜃, then we also say: sin∠ =sin𝜃, cos∠ =cos𝜃, and tan∠ =tan𝜃.
know how cos, sin and tan functions are defined for all real numbers; be able to sketch the graph of certain trigonometric functions; know how to differentiate the cos, sin and tan functions; understand the definition of the inverse function f−1(x) = cos− 1(x).
Thus, given the sine, cosine or tangent of some angle between 0 and 90 degrees, we want to find the angle with the given ratio. We have seen that tan 45° = 1.

This section look. at trigonometry in right-angled triangles. In a right-angled triangle the side opposite the right angle i. ypotenuseAB is adjacent t.
This provides a geometric description as follows: Start with the sine function, and then 1.Shift it right by t0; 2.Stretch it horizontally by p= 2 ; 3.Stretch it vertically by A ; and nally 4.Shift it up by C . Note, in particular, that the cosine function is a sinusoidal function, and may be described as cos t = sin( t + 2);
Section 1 -The Sine and Cosine Functions: Definitions and Basic Properties We start with the unit circle. It’s a circle, centered at the origin with radius 1. The x-coordinate of a point on the circle is cos(x) and the y-coordinate is sin(x) where x is the distance traveled along the circle in the counterclockwise direction.
After defining sine, cosine, and tangent, students can proceed from circle geometry to trace through Ptolemy’s calculation of his chord table (with some beautiful pentagon properties along the way).
