Anyone can contribute an answer, even non-tutors.
need help with this, i cant visualise and understand this as it sounds very confusing to me
can someone help explain this to me
cos (2nd quadrant) = - cos (basic)
Tan (2nd quadrant) = - Tan (basic)
sin (3rd quadrant) = - sin (basic)
cos (3rd quadrant) = - cos (basic)
Tan (3rd quadrant) = Tan (basic)
sin (4th quadrant) = - sin (basic)
cos (4th quadrant) = cos (basic)
Tan (4th quadrant) = - Tan (basic)
The ones which I mentioned same signage or opposite signages; these are the simplified results of the ASTC quadrants.
Sin (360 - basic) = - sin basic (since they have opposite signages in the first and the fourth quad)
cos (360 - basic) = cos basic (since they have the same signages in the first and the fourth quad)
Tan (360 - basic) = - Tan basic (since they have opposite signages in the first and the fourth quad)
Likewise, since -basic is is the same position as 360 - basic,
sin (-basic) = - sin (basic)
cos (-basic) = cos (basic)
Tan (-basic) = - Tan (basic)
like sin(-x) = - sinx
the 360 is removed
The part where I mention the two angles are in the same position when you keep subtracting or adding 360
So of course Tan (360 - x) and tan (-x) is identical
Because their quadrant positions are identical
btw can you help me with trigonometric functions and graphs + their properties etc?
The section on trigonometric equation solving will require quadrants heavily.
quadrants as in the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th quadrant right
Trigo solving is like
Solve sin x = 1/2 for 0 to 360.
