Botanical Name

Narcissus 'Trigonometry'
Plant Common Name
Trigonometry Daffodil

The flowers of a Trigonometry Daffodil are of almost


geometric precision with their repeating patterns.
Repeating patterns occur in sound, light, tides, time,
and nature. To analyse these repeating, cyclical
patterns, we need to study the cyclical function branch
of trigonometry. Math 30-1 1

Circular Functions
Angles can be measured in:
Degrees: common unit used in geometry
1
part of a circle
360

Radian: common unit used in Trigonometry


1
part of a circle
2

Gradient: not common unit, used in surveying


1
part of a circle
400
Revolutions: angular velocity
radians per second
Math 30-1 4
To study circular functions, we must consider
angles of rotation.

Benchmark/Special Angles (in degrees)
Sketch each rotation angle in standard position.
State the quadrant in which the terminal arm lies.

a) 400° b) -170°

c) 1280° d) -1020°

Coterminal angles are angles in standard position that
share the same terminal arm. They also share the same
reference angle.
Rotation Angle 50°
Terminal arm is in quadrant ____
Positive Coterminal Angles:
(Counterclockwise)

Negative Coterminal Angles:


(Clockwise)

Coterminal Angles in General Form

By adding or subtracting multiples of one full rotation,


you can write an infinite number of angles that are
coterminal with any given angle.
θ ± (360°)n, where n is any natural number

Why must n be a natural number?

Radian Measure: Trig and Calculus
The radian measure of an angle is the ratio of arc length
of a sector to the radius of the circle.

arc length
number of radians =
radius


r

When arc length = radius, the


angle measures one radian.
How many radians do you
think there are in one circle?

Radian Measure
Construct arcs on the
circle that are equal in
length to the radius.
