Cast Diagram Negative Angles

Find the two angles o between 00 and 3600 for which cos o 04.

Cast diagram negative angles. Any trig fractions using one negative side will be negative. For the second angle it should be in the t quadrant bottom left thus add 30 to 180. Trigonometry at asa level includes solving trigonometric equations and finding multiple solutions using a cast diagram or graph. Here i show you how to use the quadrant rule or cast diagram to solve trigonometric equations in different ranges.

On a set of axes angles are measured anti clockwise from the positive x axis. Well at this point you should be aware of the reasons why sin cos and tan are sometimes positive and sometimes negative depending on which quadrant angle is in. Draw this angle onto your cast diagram. How do you use cast diagrams with negative angles as in tan2x root 3 where you get 60 degrees can someone please solve this and explain what you do.

When youre finding negative x then the angles you want will be in the bottom two quadrants. The angles between 900 and 1800 are in the second quadrant angles between 1800 and. Thats the easy part. Cast diagrams for the tangent function see instructions example.

There is a short acronym and diagram that will help you to remember which trig function is positive in which. In this video i introduce the cast diagram and how to use it so. To find the actual angle between 0 and 360 subtract 30 from 360. The angles which lie between 00 and 900 are said to lie in the first quadrant.

The cast diagram for negative cosine is as shown. This lesson looks at the cast diagram and introduces students to the negative angles through a series of worked examples. Understanding negative angles and their relationships on the cast diagram cartesian plane. Sin cos and tan a level maths quadrants and the cast rule.

But how can we remember all of this. So if you want to find sinx 05 x is 30 from your calculator.
