SIXTRIG
- Finds the values of the six trigonometric functions of an angle (in standard position) with terminal side passing through a specific (x, y) point.
Useful for:
- ACT
- Geometry
- Precalculus
- Trigonometry
- Calculus
Example
Q: Find the values of the six trigonmetric functions of θ in standard position with terminal side passing through the point (6, -5).
Solution:
Run SIXTRIG. How?
Enter
X = 6 and Y = -5
The program reports:
Press ENTER for the
remaining information:
Interpretation:
sin θ = -.64
cos θ = .77
tan θ = -5/6
csc θ = -1.56
sec θ = 1.30
cot θ = -6/5
*Note: The program will report values as fractions whenever possible.
