5 Trigo

I. The document discusses key topics in trigonometry that candidates should know, including the six trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, cotangent, secant), relationships between the ratios, converting between degrees and radians, and solving simple trigonometric equations. II. It also covers trigonometric identities like the Pythagorean identity and double angle identities. Sample past year exam questions are presented along with step-by-step solutions for one of the examples. III. The final sections discuss proving trigonometric identities and graphing common trigonometric functions over various intervals for exam practice.

5. TRIGONOMETRY (Solving SIMPLE Trigonometric Equations)

sin x = -

i.

Find the basic angle (Ignore negative sign first)

[SHIFT SIN = 300]


i. Sketch a simple diagram

1800

300 300 300

00

2100

3300

ii. Use the diagram to find the required angles

x = 2100, 3300

Common mistakes

sin (x + 300) = , then sin x + sin


0 30

gone !
Do NOT use Sin(A+B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B !

Correct way

sin (x + 300) = , then x +300 = 300 , 1500


So, x = 00 , 1200
If 00 is an answer, then 3600 is also an answer !

Correct way
Since 00 x 3600 , 300 x +300 3900

sin (x + 300) = ,
then x
0 +30

0 30

0 150

0 390

So, x = 00 , 1200 , 3600
