The Unit Circle and Quadrants
Unit Circle Coordinates:
* 0∘ or 360∘ (2pi): (1,0)
* 90∘ (fracpi2): (0,1)
* 180∘ (pi): (−1,0)
* 270∘ (frac3pi2): (0,−1)
Quadrant Signs (ASTC Rule):
* Quadrant I (A - All): All trigonometric functions (sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), csc(x), sec(x), cot(x)) are positive (+,+).
* Quadrant II (S - Sine): Only Sine and Cosecant are positive (−,+).
* Quadrant III (T - Tangent): Only Tangent and Cotangent are positive (−,−).
* Quadrant IV (C - Cosine): Only Cosine and Secant are positive (+,−).
Trigonometric Identities
Cofunction Identities:
* sin(90−theta)=cos(theta)
* cos(90−theta)=sin(theta)
* tan(90−theta)=cot(theta)
* csc(90−theta)=sec(theta)
* Specific Example: cos(90−20)=sin(20)
Even and Odd Identities:
* sin(−theta)=−sin(theta)
* cos(−theta)=cos(theta)
* tan(−theta)=−tan(theta)
* csc(−theta)=−csc(theta)
