Lesson 5 Notes:
Review:
Special Triangles & Exact Values
the 30º-60º-90º triangle has a specific ratio:
There is also a 45º-45º-90º triangle:
There are also other special angles with exact values:
Ex1
Find the exact value of the following:
a) sin 120º
b) cos 240º
d) csc 315º
e) sec(-30º)
c) tan(-135º)

Now, it’s only one step away to solve this one:
(assume 0    360 unless you are told otherwise)
Ex1
2sin   3
For the next couple, you must factor:
Ex2
sin x cos x  sin x  0
Ex3
cos2 x  cos x  2  0
For this one it might be easier once you know what sec x equals, to convert
it to the primary ratio instead.
