1. Trigonometric Ratios 6 2 Marks
The name Trigonometry is derived from three Greek words viz., tri, gon,
metry . Tri means three, gon means sides and metry means measure. Thus,
Q
trigonometry is a branch of Mathematics which deals with the measurement of sides
-
and angles of a triangle.
R
Trigonometry has a wide scope of applications in various branches of science
and engineering. Engineers use trigonometry for (i) finding the heights and distances
A
of inaccessible objects (ii) surveying of land scapes. Astronomers and Navigators
T
use it for the computations of Latitude, Longitude. It has got an important role, in
the study of all sorts of ibrating phenomina-sound, light, flow of electricity. Geometry,
S
Calculus, Vector Algebra are also mingled with the concepts of Trigonometry to some
extent.
The six trigonometric ratios (functions of q) sinq, cosq, tanq, cscq, secq,
cotq connect the sides of a right angled triangle with the angle q. These trigonometric
functions are interrelated in a variety of important ways. The part of the trigonometry
which deals with various types of relations, formulae,problems of these trigonometic
ratios is called analytical trigonometry (goniometry).
The basic concepts of trigonometry are already introduced in the lower classes.
Hence, we made a move in the first section to recapitulate the basic concepts.

Angles
R
The algebraic sum of two or more angles is called a compound
angle. If A,B,C are angles, then the angles A+B, AB, A+B+C, AB+C
TA
etc., are all compound angles. We have to note that, in general,
sin(A+B)¹sinA+sinB. Hence, certain standard formulae are derived in
S
order to find the Trigonometric ratios of compound angles like sin(A±B),
cos(A±B), tan(A±B), cot(A±B).We know the values of Trigonometric
ratios for 45o and 30o and the algebraic sum of these angles give 75o and
15 o and the values of Trigonometric ratios for these angles can be
determined using sin(A+B), cos(A-B) etc., Certain useful conditional
identities can be derived using the formulae on compound angles.
eg: In DABC, tanA+tanB+tanC=tanAtanBtanC.

For any real value of x, the maximum value of sinx or cosx is 1 and their minimum
value is -1. Such values are also known as extreme values. When the expression is of
Q
the form acosx+bsinx, then its maximum value is proved to be C D and minimum
-
value is C D . We can find the extreme values of Trigonometric expressions which
can be reduced into the form acosx+bsinx. While determining the values of maxima /
R
minima, occasionally, we use the power reducing formulae like

Any phenomenon, that occurs in regular intervals is said to exhibit the
periodic property. Periodicity is one of the characteristic properties of trigonometric
S
functions. The period of sinx is 2p . That means, the value of sinx does not change for
any x with the addition of 2p to that x. i.e, sin(x+2p)=sinx. Similarly, the remaining
Trigonometric functions also exhibit this nature. The period of sinkx, coskx is .

The period of tankx is . We can find the period of any trigonometric function that can be

reduced to the form sinkx, coskx, tankx etc.,
