Trigonometric Function

Chapter 1

Trigonometric Identity

1.1. Trigonometric Ratios for Any Angle

Any angle and its measures

1. Positive angle, negative angle and zero angle

If a ray rotating around the endpoint counterclockwise formed as the positive angle, its measurement is positive, and if a ray rotating around the endpoint clockwise formed as the positive angle, its measurement is negative (see Fig. 1.1):

Fig. 1.1.

2. Coterminal angle

In the process of angle forming, we can find there are numerous angles whose initial and terminal sides coincide with a certain angle α. Their range is 360° integer times that of α in size. We put the set of the angles (including α itself) with the same edge as α:

{β|β= k · 360° + α, k ∈ Z}.

Namely, any angle with the same terminal side as angle α can be expressed as a total of angle α and integer number of perigons.

3. Quadrant angle

If the terminal ray of an angle in standard position lies in the first quadrant, then the angle is said to be a first-quadrant angle. Similarly, second-, third-, and fourth-quadrant angles are defined as follows:

First-quadrant angles: {α|k · 360° < α < k · 360° + 90°, k ∈...
