Trigonometric Functions and Angles

The video tutorial explains how to determine the exact trigonometric function values using reference triangles. It focuses on finding the six trigonometric function values for the angle -7π/6, emphasizing the importance of working with radians. The tutorial guides viewers through sketching the angle in standard position, forming the reference triangle, and calculating the sine, cosine, secant, cosecant, tangent, and cotangent values. The video also covers rationalizing denominators and checking the signs of triangle sides based on the quadrant.

What is the significance of the angle being negative in trigonometric calculations?

• It indicates a counterclockwise rotation.

• It indicates a clockwise rotation.

• It means the angle is in degrees.

• It means the angle is in radians.

Why is it important to work with radians instead of converting to degrees?

• Degrees are not used in trigonometry.

• Radians are easier to calculate.

• Radians are the standard unit in trigonometry.

• Radians are only used for negative angles.
