How to Evaluate Each Trigonometric Function

How to Evaluate Each Trigonometric Function


- Step 1: Draw the terminal side of the angle.
- Step 2: Find reference angle. (It is the smallest angle that you can make from the terminal side of an angle with the \(x\)-axis.)
- Step 3: Find the trigonometric function of the reference angle.

How to Find Co-terminal Angles and Reference Angles

How to Find Co-terminal Angles and Reference Angles


- Co-terminal angles are equal angles.
- To find a co-terminal of an angle, add or subtract \(360\) degrees (or \(2π\) for radians) to the given angle.
- Reference angle is the smallest angle that you can make from the terminal side of an angle with the \(x-\)axis.

How to Sketch Angles in Standard Position

How to Sketch Angles in Standard Position


A standard-position angle has its vertex at the plane's origin. Along the positive \(x\)-axis is where its initial ray (beginning side) is located. From the beginning side, its terminal ray (finishing side) travels counterclockwise.

How to Find Trigonometric Ratios of General Angles

How to Find Trigonometric Ratios of General Angles


Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant are trigonometric ratios. For these trigonometric ratios, the standard angles are \(0, \ 30, \ 45, \ 60,\) and \(90\) degrees. These angles can also be shown using radians, such as \(0, \ \frac{π}{6}, \ \frac{π}{4}, \ \frac{π}{3},\) and \(\frac{π}{2}\) . In trigonometry, these angles are most regularly and frequently used. To solve many problems, you need to know the values of these trigonometry angles.

How to Solve Infinite Geometric Series

How to Solve Infinite Geometric Series


A geometric series with an infinite number of terms is called an infinite geometric series. The infinite geometric series is shown as \(a, \ ar, \ ar^2, \ ar^3, \ ... \ ,\) to \(∞\).

How to Solve Finite Geometric Series


Finite Geometric Series:  The sum of a geometric series is finite when the absolute value of the ratio is less than 1.
