Since the radius is always positive (r > 0), the signs
of the trig functions are dependent upon the signs of
x and y. Therefore, we can determine the sign of
the functions by knowing the quadrant in which the
terminal side of the angle lies.

To determine where each trig function is POSITIVE:

S
“All Students Take Calculus”
Translation:
A = All 3 functions are positive in Quad 1
S= Sine function is positive in Quad 2
T= Tangent function is positive in Quad 3
C= Cosine function is positive in Quad 4
*In Quad 2, sine is positive, but cosine and tangent are negative; in Quad 3, tangent is positive, but sine and cosine are negative; in Quad 4, cosine is positive but sine and tangent are negative.
**Reciprocal functions have the same sign. So cosecant is positive wherever sine is positive, secant is positive wherever cosine is positive, and cotangent is positive wherever tangent is positive.

Determine if the following functions are positive or negative:
Example
1) sin 210°
2) cos 320°
3) cot (-135°)
4) csc 500°
5) tan 315°

Examples
For the given values, determine the quadrant(s) in which the terminal side of θ lies.
1) sin 0.3614 2) tan 2.553 3) cos 0.866

Examples
Determine the quadrant in which the terminal side of θ lies, subject to both given conditions.
1) sin 0, cos 0 2) sec 0, cot 0

ExamplesFind the exact value of the six trigonometric functions of θ if
the terminal side of θ passes through point (3, -5).

The values of the trig functions for non-acute angles can be found using the values of the corresponding reference angles.
Reference Angles (Sect 8.2)
Definition of Reference Angle
Let be an angle in standard position. Its reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of and the horizontal axis.

By sketching in standard position, we see that it is a 3rd quadrant angle. To find , you would subtract 180° from 225 °.

So what’s so great about reference angles?
Well…to find the value of the trig function of any non-acute angle, we just need to find the trig function of the reference angle and then determine whether it is positive or negative, depending upon the quadrant in which the angle lies.
For example,
1sin 225 (sin 45 )
2
45° is the ref angleIn Quad 3, sin is negative
13
Example
Give the exact value of the trig function (without using a calculator).

Examples (Text p 239 #6)
Express the given trigonometric function in terms of the same function of a positive acute angle.

15
Examples (Text p 239 #8)
Express the given trigonometric function in terms of the same function of a positive acute angle.
8 ) cos 190 )cot 290a b
16
Now, of course you can simply use the calculator to find the value of the trig function of any angle and it will correctly return the (approximate) answer with the correct sign.
Remember:
Make sure the Mode setting is set to the correct form of the angle: Radian or Degree
To find the trig functions of the reciprocal functions (csc, sec, and cot), use the button or enter [original function] .
17
Example
Evaluate . Round appropriately.
Set Mode to Degree
Enter: OR
cot 324.0
: cot 324.0 1.38ANS

HOWEVER, it is very important to know how to use the reference angle when we are using the inverse trig functions on the calculator to find the angle because the calculator may not directly give you the angle you want.

Trig functions of Quadrantal Angles
To find the sine, cosine, tangent, etc. of angles whose terminal
side falls on one of the
axes , we will use the circle.

Likewise, we can find the polar coordinates if we are given the rectangular coordinates using the trig functions.
Example:
Find the polar coordinates (r, θ) for the point for which the rectangular coordinates are (5, 4). Express r and θ (in radians) to three sig digits.
