Introductory Message

Welcome to Senior High School Grade 11 Mathematics(Pre-Calculus).

The Pre-Calculus Learning Kit is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Iloilo and DepEd Regional Office VI – Western Visayas through the
Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to guide the
learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible adults) in helping our learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide our learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist learners in acquiring the
lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and employment.

For the learning facilitator:

The Learning Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-
to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners
with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Learning Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even if
you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging
activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and
understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments.
This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

PRE-CALCULUS LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Learning Competency
Use reference angles to find exact values of circular functions. (STEM_PC11T-IIb-2).

Generalizations

A reference angle is an acute angle formed by the terminal side and the x-axis.

Below is a guide in finding reference angles:

Quadrant of 𝜽 Reference Angle

I 𝜃
II 180° - 𝜃
III 𝜃 - 180°
IV 360° - 𝜃

The signs of the coordinates of P(𝜃) depends on the quadrant or axis where it
terminates. It is important to know the sign of each circular function in each quadrant.

Quadrant II Quadrant I
(-,+) (+,+)
Only sine and cosecant All circular functions
functions are positive. are positive.

Quadrant III Quadrant IV

(-,-) (+,-)
Only tangent and cotangent Only cosine and secant function
functions are positive. are positive.

3
 Using the fact that the unit circle is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and
the origin, we can identify the coordinates of all the points using the coordinates of the
corresponding points in the Quadrant I for the special angles. Refer to the figure below.

Example 1:
Use reference angle and appropriate sign to find the exact value of each expression.
5𝜋
1. sin 45° 3. sin
3
2. cos (— 135 °) 4. tan 150°

Solution:

To find the exact value of the given function, consider the quadrant where the given angle lies
and its sign and then solve the reference angle using the formula in the table above.

a. 45° b. 6
c. 3
d. - 135°

Enrichment Activity

Circular functions have many practical applications in real life. Using any online
references, research on how the circular functions are applied in the following fields:

a. Health
b. Meteorology
c. Music
d. Amusement parks

Present your output in the form of power point presentation that will show how the
circular functions are applied in the indicated fields.
