2.2.1-1. Trigonometric circle. Degrees and radians.
Trigonometric circle is the circle of unit radius with center at the origin of an orthogonal
coordinate system Oxy. The coordinate axes divide the circle into four quarters (quadrants);
see Fig. 2.5. Consider rotation of the polar radius issuing from the origin O and ending
at a point M of the trigonometric circle. Let α be the angle between the x-axis and the
polar radius OM measured from the positive direction of the x-axis. This angle is assumed
positive in the case of counterclockwise rotation and negative in the case of clockwise
rotation.

Figure 2.5. Trigonometric circle.
Angles are measured either in radians or in degrees. One radian is the angle at the vertex
of the sector of the trigonometric circle supported by its arc of unit length. One degree is
the angle at the vertex of the sector of the trigonometric circle supported by its arc of length
π/180. The radians are related to the degrees by the formulas

2.2.1-2. Definition of trigonometric functions.
The sine of α is the ordinate (the projection to the axis Oy) of the point on the trigonometric
circle corresponding to the angle of α radians. The cosine of α is the abscissa (projection
to the axis Ox) of that point (see Fig. 2.5). The sine and the cosine are basic trigonometric
functions and are denoted, respectively, by sin α and cos α.
Other trigonometric functions are tangent, cotangent, secant,andcosecant.Theseare
derived from the basic trigonometric functions, sine and cosine, as follows:
tan α =
sin α
cos α
,cotα =
cos α
sin α
,secα =
1
cos α
,cosecα =
1
sin α
.
Table 2.1 gives the signs of the trigonometric functions in different quadrants. The
signs and the values of sin α and cos α do not change if the argument α is incremented by
2πn,wheren = 1, 2, The signs and the values of tan α and cot α do not change if the
argument α is incremented by πn,wheren = 1, 2,
Table 2.2 gives the values of trigonometric functions for some values of their argument
(the symbol ∞ means that the function is undefined for the corresponding value of its

argument).

2.2.2. Graphs of Trigonometric Functions
2.2.2-1. Sine: y =sinx.
This function is defined for all x and its range is y [–1, 1]. The sine is an odd, bounded,
periodic function (with period 2π). It crosses the axis Oy at the point y = 0 and crosses
the axis Ox at the points x = πn, n = 0,
1, 2, The sine is an increasing function
on every segment [–

+ 2πn,
π

[

π
2
+ 2πn, it attains its maximal value (y = 1), and for
x =–
π
2
+ 2πn it attains its minimal value (y =–1). The graph of the function y =sinx is
called the sinusoid or sine curve and is shown in Fig. 2.6.

The cotangent is an unbounded, odd, periodic function (with period π). It crosses the axis
Ox at the points x =

Inverse trigonometric functions (arc functions) are the functions that are inverse to the
trigonometric functions. Since the trigonometric functions sin x,cosx,tanx,cotx are
periodic, the corresponding inverse functions, denoted by Arcsin x, Arccos x,Arctanx,
