You will need to spend many hours struggling with them just to become proficient in the basics. Like many things in life, there is no short-cut here -- there is no complete algorithm for verifying identities. Nevertheless, a summary of some strategies which may be helpful depending on the situation is provided below and ample practice is provided for you in the Exercises. This is represented schematically below.
Presently, we adopt the last approach. We now set about determining the domains and ranges of the remaining four circular functions. To get a better understanding what set of real numbers we're dealing with, it pays to write out and graph this set. Graphing this set on the number line we get. This is cumbersome, to say the least! The reader is encouraged to do so. See the Exercises. For now, we gather these facts into the theorem below.
We close this section with a few notes about solving equations which involve the circular functions. Next, it is critical that you know the domains and ranges of the six circular functions so that you know which equations have no solutions. Carl Stitz , Ph. That's probably not a bad idea, but it's not a formal definition of angle measure.
Notice, by the way, that the "right angles" approach and the "circle" approach are, for angles between 0 and 90 degrees, essentially identical. That's a right triangle, with hypotenuse 1 because it's a unit circle!

Ethan Bolker Ethan Bolker John Hughes John Hughes The length of the arc from point A 1,0 to point P is q units. What are the values of the six circular functions of q? The values of the sine and cosine follow from the definitions and are the coordinates of point P.
The other four functions are derived using the sine and cosine. The sign of each of the six circular functions see Table 1 is dependent upon the length of the arc q. Note that the four intervals for q correspond directly to the four quadrants for trigonometric functions. Previous Trigonometry of Triangles. Next Periodic and Symmetric Functions.
