This section reviews the basic trigonometric


functions. The trigonomstric functions are
important because they are periodic, or
repeating, and therefore model many naturally
occuring periodic processes.

Radian Measure

In nagivation and astronomy, angles are


measured in degrees, but in calculus it is best to
use units called radians because of the way
they simplify later calculations.

The Six Basic Trigonometric Functions

The trigonometric functions are the sine (sin),


cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot),
secant (sec) and cosecant (csc) and defined in
terms of the coordinates of P(t) = (x, y) by

Find the angles for the equation.

4 sec 2  = 3 tan  + 5

Solution:

Since

sec 2  = 1 + tan 2  ,

we have
