TRIGONOMETRICAL RATIOS AND FUNCTIONS

1. Some Important Definitions and
formulae-
(1) Measurement of angles:- The angle are
measured in degrees, grades or in radians which
are defined as follows
Degrees- A right angle is divided into 90 equal
parts and each part is called a degree. Thus a right
angle is equal to 90 degress. One degree is de-
noted by 1.
A degree is divided into sixty equal parts and
each part is called a minute. One minute is de-
noted by 1.
A minute is divided into sixty equal parts and
each part is called a second. One second is de-
noted by 1.
Thus,
1 right angled = 90 (Read as 90 degrees)
1 = 60 (Read as 60 minutes)
1 = 60 (Read as 60 seconds).
Grades- A right angle is divided into 100 equal
parts and each part is called a grade. Thus a right
angle is equal to 100 grades. One grade is denoted
by 1
g
.
A grade is divided into 100 equal parts and each
part and each part is called a minute and is de-
noted by 1.
A minute is divided into 100 equal parts and each
part is called a second and is denoted by 1.
Thus,
1 right angled = 100
g
(Read as 100 grades)
1
g
= 100 (Read as 100 minutes)
1 100 (Read as 100 seconds).
Radians- A ra-
dian is the angle
subtended at the
centre of a circle
by an arc equal in
length to the ra-
dius of the circle.
In the adjacent
figure OA OC =
arc AC = r = radius of circle, then measurement
of AOC is one radian and denoted by 1
c
. Thus
AOC 1
c
.
(2) A constant Number - The ratio of the
circumference to the diameter of a circle is al-
ways equal to a constant and this constant is
denoted by the Greek letter
i.e.
Circumference of a circle
Diameter of the circle
(constant)
The constant is an irrational number and its
approximate value is taken as
22
7
. The more accu-
rate value to six decimals places is taken as
355
113
.
(3) Relation between an arc and an angle- If
is the angle in radians at the vertex of a sector
of a circle of radius r, then length of the arc of the
sector l r

.
Angle subtended by the semi-circular arc at its
centre = 180
r
r
radians.
Thus, we have radians = 180 = 2 right angles.

2. Domain and Range of a Trigono.
Function-
If f : X Y is a function, defined on the set X,
then the domain of the function f, written as
Domf is the set of all independent variables x, for
which the image f (x) is well defined element of
Y, called the co-domain of f.
Range of f : X Y is the set of all images f (x)
which belongs to Y, i.e.,
Range f

'

f(x) Y : x X

The domain and range of trigonometrical func-
tions are tabulated as follows-

(7) Since sin

A + cos
2
A = 1, hence each of
sin A and cos A is numerically less than or
equal to unity. i.e.
|sin A| 1 and |cos A| 1
or t sin A 1 and 1 cos A 1
AISECT TUTORIALS : MATHEMATICS : SET-1
(2)
(8) Since sec A and cosec A are respectively
reciprocals of cos A and sin A, therefore the
values of sec A and cosec A are always nu-
merically greater than or equal to unity.
i.e.
sec A 1 or sec A 1
and cosec A 1 or cosec A 1
In other words, we never have
1 < cosec A < 1 and 1 < sec A < 1.

(10) In a triangle, sine of any one angle is equal
to the sine of the sum of the remaining
angles, i.e.
sin (A + B) = sin C etc.
(11) In a triangle, the cosine and tangent of any
one angle is equal to minus times the cosine
and tangent of the remaining two angles. i.e.

and tan (A + B) = tan C etc.
(12) The sine of half of any angle in a triangle is
equal to the cosine of half the sum of the
remaining two angles and similarly the co-
sine of half of any angle is equal to the sine

By addition and subtraction, we have

and 2 cos

The ambiguities of sign in relations (1) and (2) is
determined by the following diagram.
18. To find the greatest and least
values of the expression
0a sin + b cos
Let a = r cos , b = r sin ,
then a
2
+ b
2
= r
2
or r a
2
+ b
2
a sin + b cos
= r (sin cos + cos sin ) = r sin ( + )
But 1 sin ( + ) 1
so that r r sin ( + ) r
Hence a
2
+ b
2
a sin + b cos a
2
+ b
2
Thus the greatest and least values of
a sin + b cos are respectively
(a
2

) and (a

Similarly maximum value of
a sin b cos is (a
