Use The Given Point In The Terminal Side Of Angle Theta To Find The Value Of The Trigonometric

A point on the terminal side of angle θ is given. Find the exact value of the indicated trigonometric function?

The given point lies in Quadrant-II. Draw a segment joining the point (-10, 24) with (0,0). Then θ should be the angle subtended by this segment and the x-axis. Draw altitude from the x-axis to (-10,24). Hence we have a right angled triangle.

Then,
sinθ = altitude/hypotenuse

sinθ = 24/√{(-10²)+24²}

sinθ = 24/√(100+576)

sinθ = 24/√676

Hence,
sinθ = 24/26
{sine is +ve in Quad II}

A point terminal side of an angle 0 is given. find the exact value of the indicated trignometric function of 0

sin θ = y/r where r = √ (x^2 + y^2)

Here that's √ (400 + 2304) = √2704 = 52

So sin θ = 48/52

Or, draw a graph, put the point (-20, 48) and draw a segment from the origin to there then make a right triangle with that as the hypotenuse; find its length by Pythagorean Theorem, then use SOHCAHTOA (sin = opp leg/ hypotenuse)

1) Using a triangle..Step 1:Using a compass or protractor, draw the angle you need to measure the trigonometric function of.Complete the triangle by dropping a perpendicular from any point of one ray on to the other.Measure the side lengths using a ruler.Now,[math]\frac{P}{H} = sin\theta[/math][math]\frac{B}{H} = cos\theta[/math][math]\frac{P}{B} = tan\theta[/math][math]\frac{H}{P} = cosec\theta[/math][math]\frac{H}{B} = sec\theta[/math][math]\frac{B}{P} = cot\theta[/math]Similarly, to compute inverse trigonometric functions, first draw the sides, complete the triangle, and then measure the concerning angle to get the result.2) By Taylor Series[math]cos(x) = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!}   + \frac{x^4}{4!}  - \frac{x^6}{6!} + ...[/math][math]sin(x) = x - \frac{x^3}{3!}   + \frac{x^5}{5!}  - \frac{x^7}{7!} + ...[/math][math]tan(x) = x + x^3 + \frac{2x^5}{15} + ...[/math][math]sin^{-1}(x) = x + \frac{x^3}{6} + \frac{3x^5}{40} + ...[/math]Substitute the argument of the function (x) into the series, and calculate its value. The more terms you use, the more accurate your answer.If you aren't familiar with the concept of Taylor Series, then to put it in a nutshell, any function can be written in the form of a polynomial expansion. That polynomial is called its Taylor Series.If you want to know how to find the series of any function, I suggest you read this answer or watch this video: https: //youtu . be/zdJl27kgeSQ.3) By InterpolationThere are several methods to interpolate functions. Interpolation basically means finding the value of a function at a point, when you already know the value of that function at other points.So suppose you know the value of [math]sin(0), sin(\frac{\pi}{6}), sin(\frac{\pi}{4}), sin(\frac{\pi}{3}), sin(\frac{\pi}{2})[/math]. That means, that using these values, you can figure out the value of say sin(0.532), by assuming a pattern from these known values. The more values you know, the more accurate your answer, because the pattern you're assuming becomes closer to the actual function.There are many methods of interpolation such as:Lagrange: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag...Finite differences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin...Runge-Kutta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run...I'll take the example of Lagrange interpolation:where [math]f(x_0), f(x_1), ..... f(x_k)[/math] are known.Substitute the known values, and find the value of L(x), which is what was required.Thanks for the A2A!

Point on terminal side of angle theta given. Find exact value of indicated trig function of theta.?

Hi,

It helps to always draw out the triangle associated with the problem.

Given the point (3,4), then we know θ is in Quadrant 1.

Hypotenuse, h is found using the Phythagorean Theorem.

h² = 3² + 4² = 25, h = 5

So,

cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse = 3/5

Hope this helps!

Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of theta?

sin theta=-7/25 csc theta= -25/7
cos theta=24/25 sectheta=25/24
tan theta= -7/24 cot theta= -24/7
consider right triangle ABC with angleB =90, angleA= theta then AB=24 BC=7
then AC= 25 (How?)
Given point in 4th quadrant therefore Cos and sec positive others negative

The point (12, 5) is on the terminal side of an angle theta. What is cos theta?

you go 12 to the right and 5 up. now you draw a right triangle. the hypotenuse is 13. cos is adj/hyp so it is 12/13
cos theta is 12/13 not gonna type decimal # now PLZ ANSWER MY QUESTION

(-5,3) is a point on terminal side of theta in standard position. find the values of sin, cos, tan for theta?

For trigonometric functions of any angle, like this one, you need to find the distance from the origin to the point for a value of r. The Pythagorean theorem gives r= sqrt(25+9), or the square root of 34. I'll use "Th" for the theta symbol.

sin(Th)=y/r, or (3sqrt34)/34 once you rationalize the denominator.
cos(Th)=x/r, or (-5sqrt34)/34 once you rationalize the denominator.
tan(Th)=y/x, or -3/5.

Let’s first consider the unit circle, i.e., a circle with a radius of length r = 1 unit and with its center at the origin (0,0) of a rectangular coordinate system (the xy-plane); therefore, the unit circle intersects the x-axis of the rectangular coordinate system at the points (1,0) and (–1,0) and intersects the y-axis at the points (0,1) and (0, –1).Let the radius of the unit circle be a line segment OP whose length is r = 1 unit and that extends from the origin O (0,0) and intersects the unit circle at point P (x,y) on the circle. Let angle θ be the angle that radius OP of the unit circle makes with the positive x-axis. Also, let angle θ be any angle in standard position with its vertex at the origin O (0,0), with its initial side along the positive x-axis, and with radius OP as its terminal side, which, by the way, can lie in any one of the four (4) quadrants, and angle θ can be either positive (counterclockwise rotation) or negative (clockwise rotation). The six basic trigonometric functions such as the sine function of angle θ (sin θ) and the cosine function of angle θ (cos θ) express the interrelationships that exist between angle θ, radius length r, and the coordinates (x, y) of point P. The cosine function of angle θ is defined by a ratio which is expressed as cos θ = x/r = (abscissa of point P)/(length of radius OP); however, since we’re dealing with a unit circle where r = 1, we have: cos θ = x/r           = x/1 1.) cos θ  = x,  and …The sine function of angle θ is also defined by a ratio which is expressed as sin θ = y/r = (ordinate of point P)/(length of radius OP); however, since we’re dealing with a unit circle where r = 1, we have: sin θ = y/r          = y/12.) sin θ = yThus, the above discussion explains and illustrates how the cosine (cos) and sine (sin) functions translate to x and y on the unit circle.

If you want to represent an angle using a trigonometric circle you need to "trim" it down to value that's between [math]\left[0,2 \pi\right)[/math].Notice the last bracket, it means that you aren't including the [math],2 \pi[/math], since that's the same angle as 0. Any angle can be represented in a form [math]2k\pi+\theta[/math], where [math]\theta[/math] is the angle in the trigonometric circle, and k is an integer. This angle is measured starting from the x axis going counter clockwise. The quadrants are defined to be:I [math]\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)[/math]II [math]\left[\frac{\pi}{2},\pi \right)[/math]III [math]\left[\pi,\frac{3\pi}{2} \right)[/math]IV [math]\left[\frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right)[/math]Adding  [math]2k\pi[/math] to an angle doesn't change it's position so that can be "trimmed down" by removing that until the resulting angle is in the interval [math]\left[0,2 \pi\right)[/math].This is practically a module you get by dividing the angle with [math]2 \pi[/math].In your case the results will be:[math]\frac{\pi}{2}<\frac{5\pi}{6}<\pi[/math], this means that the angle is in the second quadrant. As for [math]\frac{107\pi}{6}[/math] first we need to do the trimming.The easiest way to do this is to, firstly, divide [math]\frac{107\pi}{6}[/math] with [math]2 \pi[/math]. We get 107/12 which is 8 and mod is 11. This means that we can write [math]\frac{107\pi}{6}=8\cdot2\pi+11\frac{\pi}{6}[/math].Since the first part is a multiple of [math]2\pi[/math] it doesn't affect the place in the circle, so we just need to look at that second term.We have that:[math]\frac{3\pi}{2}<\frac{11\pi}{6}<2\pi[/math], meaning that it's in the 4th quadrant.If the angle is negative then counting goes clock wise, meaning that if the absolute value is in the 1st quadrant then the angle will be in the 4th, 2nd means the 3rd, 3rd is the 2nd and the 4th is the 1st.
