### Karnataka Class 11 Commerce Maths Trigonometric Functions

Karnataka Class 11 Commerce Maths Trigonometric Functions : Trigonometry is a branch of Mathematics. The word trigonometry is derived from Greek words tri-gono & metron (tri-three, gono=angle, metron=measurement.) Thus the word trigonometry, literally means measurement of triangles. Primarily the subject deals with the relations between the sides, angles and area of a triangle. But trigonometry has a much wider scope and is used in geometrical and algebraic investigation in pure and applied mathematics.

Hipparchus, a Greek astronomer, is known as a founder of trigonometry and others, who contributed to this branch include Euler, John-Bernolli, Fourier, and Gauss. The Foremost Indian Mathematicians who have worked on this branch of mathematics are Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta and Bhaskaracharya.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics which studies the relationships that involve angles and lengths of triangles. It is very important to mathematics subject as an element of statistics, linear algebra and calculus. In addition to mathematics, it also contributes majorly to engineering, physics, astronomy and architectural design. Trigonometry Formulas for class 11 plays crucial role in solving any problem related to this chapter.

Trigonometric Equations:

Proofs and simple applications of sine and cosine rule.

Angle: When a line revolves about a point O from one position P to another position Q. We say an angle is formed and this angle is denoted by /POQ. The point O is called the vertex of the angle.

A radian is an angle subtended at the centre of the circle, by an arc, whose length is equal to radius of the circle.

From the figure OA = O B = r =arc AB then/ AOB = 1C (One Radian is denoted by 1C)

Now, we shall show that a radian, constructed according to above definition is of constant magnitude.

Trigonometic Ratios:

Let ∠ BOC = θ, be any acute angle, B be any point on OC, one of the boundary lines and BC is perpendicular to OC. Thus we have a right angled triangle BOC.

With respect to the angle θ, the side BC is called the opposite side, OC is called adjacent side and OB is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

With respect to the angle θ, we define the following six ratios called trignomotric ratios.

Let us now define the 6 trigonometric ratios as follows.

### Karnataka Class 11 Commerce Maths Trigonometric Functions

1. Sine of θ written as sin θ = BC / OB = Opposite side / Hypotenuse side

2. Cosine of  θ  written as cos  θ  = OC / OB =  Adjacent side / Hypotenuse side

3. tangent of θ written as tan θ =  BC / OC = Opposite side / Adjacent side

4. Cosecant of θ written as cosec θ = OB / BC = Hypotenuse side / Opposite side

5. Secant of θ written as sec θ  = OB / OC = Hypotenuse side / Adjacent side

6. Cotangent of θ written as cot θ = OC / BC =  Adjacent side / Opposite side

The above definitions of trigonometric ratios remains unaltered as long as the angle remains the same, i.e. trigonometric ratios depends on the angle but not on the lengths of the sides of the right angled triangle.

### Karnataka Class 11 Commerce Maths Trigonometric Functions

Note: We know that in every right angled triangle the hypotenuse is the greatest side, thus it follows from the definition of trigonometric ratios that those ratios which have the hypotenuse in the denominator can never be greater than unity, while those which have hypotenuse in the numerator can never be less than unity.

Further those ratios which do not involve the hypotenuse may have any numerical value. Thus we have the following results.
 The sin θ and cos θ of an angle can never be greater than 1.
 The cosec θ and sec θ of an angle can never be less than 1.
 The tan θ and cot θ of an angle may have any numerical value.

Relation between the trigonometric ratios.

In the right angled triangle as shown, consider:
Hypotenuse = r
Opposite side = y

1. Prove that sin θ . cosec θ = 1
From a right angled triangle shown below we have:
Sin θ = y / r
Cosec θ = r / y
L.H.S = sin θ . cosec θ= y / r . r / y = 1
Therefore, sin θ . cosec θ = 1
⇒ cosec θ = 1 / sinθ or sin θ = 1 / cosec θ

Similarly we can prove the following results:

2. cos θ . sec θ = 1

3. tan θ . cot θ = 1

4. Prove that tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
> R.H.S = sin θ / cos θ = y/r ÷ x/r = y/x = tan θ = L.H.S
Therefore tan θ = sin θ / cos θ.

Signs of Trigonometric ratios:

The trigonometric functions of any angle are already defined as sin θ = y/r

cos θ = x/r  and

tan θ = y/x  and the others are reciprocals of these, since r is always positive.

The algebraic sign of these numbers depend on x & y only. Now let us consider the different positions of the terminal ray of angle .

Trigonometric functions and trigonometry ratios are some of the most imperative areas of trigonometry. Trigonometry is the branch of Mathematics that deals with triangles and the relationships between the sides and angles. The trigonometry functions are universal in parts of pure mathematics and applied mathematics which also lay the groundwork for many branches of science and technology.
