Overview

Trigonometric Functions is a fundamental chapter in Class 11 Mathematics that extends our understanding of trigonometry from basic ratios in right triangles to functions defined for all real numbers. The word 'trigonometry' comes from Greek words meaning 'measuring the sides of a triangle'. This cha

Key Concepts

Angles can be measured in degrees

Angles can be measured in degrees and radians. One complete revolution equals 360° or 2π radians. The relationship is: π radians = 180°. Radian measur

Trigonometric functions are defined using

Trigonometric functions are defined using a unit circle (radius = 1) centered at origin. For any point P(a,b) on the circle with angle x, cos x = a an

The six functions

The six functions are: sin x, cos x, tan x = sin x/cos x, cot x = cos x/sin x, sec x = 1/cos x, cosec x = 1/sin x. Each has specific domain restrictio

Special angles that are multiples

Special angles that are multiples of π/2: 0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π. At these angles, trigonometric functions take simple values (0, 1, -1, or undefined). F

In Quadrant I

In Quadrant I: all functions positive. Quadrant II: only sin and cosec positive. Quadrant III: only tan and cot positive. Quadrant IV: only cos and se
