Section 5.2: Trigonometric Functions of Real Numbers
- Relate the trigonmetric functions sine (\(\sin\)), cosine (\(\cos\)), tangent (\(\tan\)), secant (\(\sec\)), cosecant (\(\csc\)), and cotangent (\(\cot\)) to the terminal point associated with a real number \(t\).
- Evaluate the trigonmetric functions above at \(t = k \cdot \frac{\pi}{6}\), \(t = k \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}\), \(t = k \cdot \frac{\pi}{3}\), and \(t = k \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}\) where \(k\) is a given integer.
- Given a terminal point determined by a real number \(t\), determine the values of the trigonometric functions above evaluated at \(t\).
- State the signs of sine, cosine, and tangent in each of the 4 quadrants of the coordinate plane.
- Use the procedure in the grey box on page 412 of Stewart, Redlin, and Watson to evaluate the trigonometric functions at any real number.
- State the Fundamental Identities given in the blue box of page 415 of Stewart, Redlin, and Watson.
