how to use a reference angle
using the angle θ' (the reference angle) , you can evaluate all 6 trig functions. These will give you the same values as θ, except possibly in sign. To determine the sign of the function, you look at the quadrant in which θ lies.
Steps for graphing trigonometric functions
1. Write in standard form y = ±A cos or sin [b(x - c)] + d 2. Identify the center line (which is always d) 3. Identify max/min (using d and A [amplitude]) 4. Identify the starting point (normally x = 0, ascertained from (c)) 5. Identify the ending point using the period (2π/b) 6. Graph the 3 remaining points: the middle and the middle-middles (intercepts of the center line) 7. Graph Acronym :) Sarah's Chocolate Milk Seems Pretty Marvelous
