*Quadrant Angles
•Reference angles cannot be drawn for
quadrant angles 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°
•Determined from the unit circle; r = 1
•Coordinates of points (x, y)
correspond to (cos θ, sin θ)

*Coterminal Angle
θ1 = 405º
θ2 = 45º
The angle
between 0º and
360º having the
same terminal
side as a given
angle.
Ex. 405º - 360º =
coterminal angle
45º
*Coterminal Angles
Used with angles greater than 360°,
or angles less than 0°.
•Example
cos 900° =
cos (900° - 720°) =
cos 180° = -1
(See quadrant angles chart)
•Example
tan (-135° ) =
tan (360° -135°) =
tan 225° =
LOOK→ tan (225° - 180°)
tan 45° = 1
(See special angles chart)
Find the value of sec 7π / 4
•Convert from radian to degrees:

Inverse Trig Functions
Used to find the angle
•when two sides of right triangle are known...
•or if its trigonometric functions are known
Notation used:
sin-1x or arcsin x
Read: “angle whose sine is …”
Also, cos-1x or arccos x
tan-1x or arctan x
Inverse trig functions have
only one principal value of the angle
defined for each value of x:
-90° < arcsin < 90°
0° < arccos < 180°
-90° < arctan < 90°
Example:
Given tan θ = -1.600, find θ
to the nearest 0.1° for 0° < θ < 360°
•Tan is negative in II & IV quadrants
