n geometrically? How to solve in

or o

Q1 0 < 90
A = (x,y) z = 1 unit y X x

Note 1. We assume that the length of the line z = 1 unit 2. We have 2 methods / ways to find in , o , and n . 3. Point A is terminate point.

Q3 180 < 270

Q2 270 < 360

Method 1 Method 2 Similar to concept used previously. Only work when z = 1 unit Focusing on the right triangle formed by the line z Observing the point A = (x, y) and the X-axis and basic angle, 1. Useful in drawing the trigonometry function, Part 5 S ill working when z uni . Steps Steps 1. Determine coordination of point A. 1. Form a right triangle between line z and X-axis. 2. Where point A = (x, y) 2. Determine the value of x (base) and y (height) 3. From point A, then in , o x, and based on coordination of point A. n , which is gradient of the line. 3. Determine the in , o , and n by using the right triangle approach based on the between line z and X-axis where it is basic angle, 1 .

Conclusion Which quarter will the in , o , or n be + ve ? Which quarter will they be ve? Hin : Refer o ei her me hod bove or Comp ring wi h st Qu r er. Important Note Q1 0 < 90 Q2 90 < 180 You will notice that all the ratios in 1st quarter are +ve. Only in is +ve in 2nd quarter. S ALL Only n is +ve in 3rd quarter. Only o is +ve in 4th quarter. The left diagram show these stituations.
