The document summarizes trigonometric functions and their relationships. It discusses the unit circle, radians vs degrees, computing trig ratios using the unit circle, trig identities, trig functions and their properties including amplitude, frequency, phase and period. It provides examples of trig functions and applications to modeling periodic behavior like sound waves and tides. Practice problems at the end involve converting between radians and degrees and expressing trig ratios as radicals.
2. Review Starting with a right triangle, like the one pictured on the right, three basic trig ratios are defined as follows:

11. Trig identities cos ( - ) = -cos ( ) sin ( - ) = sin ( ) tan ( - ) = -tan ( ) From the first to the second quadrants x changes sign while y remains positive. As is swept up away from the positive and negative x -axis, equal angle sweeps are related as: : - . These characteristics lead to the following relationships:
