A few key points to write in your notebook:• P(x,y) can lie in any quadrant.• Since the hypotenuse r, represents distance, the value of r is always
positive.• The equation x2 + y2 = r2 represents the equation of a circle with its center at
the origin and a radius of length r.• The trigonometric ratios still apply but you will need to pay attention to the
+/– sign of each.

Give each of the following in terms of the cosine of a reference angle:
Example: cos 160The angle =160 is in Quadrant II; cosine is negative in Quadrant II (refer back to All Students Take Calculus pneumonic). The reference angle in Quadrant II is as follows: =180 – or =180 – 160 = 20. Therefore: cos 160 = –cos 20
You try some:
• cos 182
• cos (–100)
• cos 365

Give the exact value in simplest radical form.
Example: sin 225
Determine the sign: This angle is in Quadrant III where sine isnegative. Find the reference angle for an angle in Quadrant III: = – 180 or = 225 – 180 = 45. Therefore:

Not all angles are SPECIAL. Sometimes you need to use your calculator. Be careful. Some problems are in degrees and some problems are in radians. Either switch back and forth between the two modes in your calculator. Or keep it in degree mode and convert quickly from radians to degrees first . . . sort of anyway.
Example: sin 217Make sure you are in DEGREE mode and just type it in your calculator!
The angle =217 is in Quadrant III; sin is negative in Quadrant III, so the sign of the angle makes sense.
𝑠𝑖𝑛217 °=− .602
Example: cos
If still in DEGREE mode, type the following:
If you switch to RADIAN mode, type the following:cos ¿
cos ¿
You try some: Give the value rounded to 3 places:
• sin 28
• cos 238
• tan 302
• cos (–15)
• sin /9
• cos (–2/5)
• tan 15/7
