This teaching guide is collaboratively developed by the
Administrative, Research and Development Center (ARDC)
curriculum developers to meet the demands and challenges of the
Junior High School Program of the Department of Education.
This worktext is divided into two modules. Each module contains the learning competencies which
are categorized as the following:
This teaching guide is considerably built on problem-based learning approach that engages
students in the learning process and discover for themselves the meaning of knowledge. The authors
believe that students learn and retain better when they make their own discoveries or gain insights from
their own experiences. Thus, the exercises are arranged in such a way that a concept develops gradually
from easy mental computations to challenging ones.
It is hoped that this teaching guide will not only make teaching of mathematics easier and more
fruitful but at the same time help the students understand, enjoy, and love learning Mathematics.

The ears, the Nautilus shell, the rose, and the ruins of Parthenon are some of the circumstances (natural or man-made)
where the golden ratio appears.
Have you ever wondered where and when you would use your
school math skills in real life? A rational exponent is an exponent
in the form of a fraction. Any expression that contains the square
root of a number is a radical expression. Both have real world
applications in fields like architecture, carpentry and masonry.
Radical expressions are utilized in financial industries to compute interest, depreciation and inflation
in areas like home buying. Electrical engineers also use radical expressions for measurements and
calculations. Biologists compare animal surface areas with radical exponents for size comparisons in
scientific research. Radical expressions are common geometry and trigonometry especially when
calculating triangles. In the fields of carpentry and masonry, triangles often come into play when
designing or constructing buildings that require angle measurements. 1
It is not common to see one idea influence almost all walks of life. It is fascinating to learn
that, from early Greece to medieval Italy to Renaissance Germany to modern-day world, experts from

different fields find one mathematical idea very important. Early mathematicians noticed this
concept because of its frequent appearance in geometry and its applications. Artists explained beauty
through this constant. Biologists observed that many animals and plants possess this constant in
their physical structure. Architects and engineers planned and built infrastructures based on this
constant. These circumstances are just few of the far-reaching contributions of the mathematical
constant called the golden ratio.2

Day 1-4
Situation 1
When a car comes to a sudden stop, you can determine the skidding distance (in feet) for a given speed
(in miles per hour) using the formula, d = 2 √5 x in which d is skidding distance and x is speed. Calculate
the skidding distance for the following speeds. Calculate the skidding distance of your car if the speed of
your car is 80 miles per hour.
Situation 2
Did you ever stand on a beach and wonder how far out into the ocean you could see? Or have you
wondered how close a ship has to be to spot land? In either case, the function d=¿ √ 2 h can be used to
estimate the distance to the horizon (in miles), d, from a given height, h, (in feet). How far will you be
from that ship if the height is 8 feet?
Guide questions:
1. In your own words, will you describe how to find the missing quantity if
you know the value of the other quantity?

n m n
An expression with a rational exponent can be written as a n = √ a . The expression √ am ,
read as “nth root of a m”, is called a radical.
The symbol √ ❑ is called the radical sign. The radical sign indicates a process of extracting
roots. The positive integer n is called the index or order of the radical. It is the denominator of the
rational exponent. The expression inside the radical sign, a m, in this case, is called the radicand.
The exponent m is the numerator of the rational exponent.
Illustrative Example 4:

Like radicals or similar radicals are radicals of the same index or order and have the same
radicand. On the other hand, unlike radicals or dissimilar radicals are radicals with different
indices or orders or different radicands provided that the radical is in its simplest form.

The laws for radicals are obtained directly from the laws for exponents by means of the
definition. The following laws of radicals can be used to simplify radical expressions.
Laws of Radicals
If n and m are non-zero integers, for any real numbers a and b , where a ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, then:
Property 1: Any radical of order n should be simplified by removing all perfect n th powers from
under the radical sign.

The roller coaster in Enchanted Kingdom, the Mactan International Airport in Cebu, and even sports such as volleyball are
only few of the many applications of quadratic equation.
The appearances of parabolic shapes in real life are abundant. You may
be familiar with the following examples: the roller coaster in Enchanted
Kingdom; Mactan International Airport in Cebu; the path travelled by the ball in
volleyball.
Many situations in life can be described and solved by the use of linear
equations or ideas related to them. However, with the sophistication of human
endeavor and the advancements of science, more complicated situations and
problems arise and require more advanced ideas of mathematical representation. One of the ideas is
the quadratic equation.
This chapter starts with the definition of a quadratic equation and then illustrates the
techniques in solving such equations. After characterizing the number of real roots, a quadratic
equation is using the concept of discriminant, a section discusses how to construct a quadratic
equation given the sum or product of its roots. Ranging from theoretical to real-life, the chapter ends
with a variety of problems.3

How to write quadratic equations in standard form? How to identify the quadratic term, linear
term and constant term?
Look at the following examples of quadratic equations in one variable taken from the
previous activity:
1. x 2−5 x+ 10=0
2. 16−9 r 2=0 or −9 r 2 +16=0
3. ( w+3)(w−6)=0 or w 2−3 w−18=0
The given examples are written in descending powers of the variable, and the right side of
each equation is zero (ax 2 +bx +c=0 ). Such quadratic equations are said to be in standard form.
Illustrative Example 2:
Write each quadratic equation in the standard form and identify the values of a , b , and c .

How to illustrate the process in solving quadratic equations by completing the square?
The techniques, extracting square roots and factoring are usually used to solve quadratic
equations of the form a x 2−c=0. If the factors of the quadratic expression of ax 2 +bx +c=0 are
determined, then it is more convenient to use factoring to solve it.
Another method of solving quadratic equation is by completing the square. This method involves
transforming the quadratic equation ax 2 +bx +c=0 into the form ( x−h)2=k , where k ≥ 0.
To solve the quadratic equation ax 2 +bx +c=0 by completing the square, the following steps can
be followed:

What is a discriminant?
−b ± √ b2−4 ac
In the quadratic formula x= , the radicand b 2−4 ac is called the
2a
discriminant of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. This value can be used to describe the
nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. It can be zero, positive and perfect square, positive but
not perfect square or negative.
How to illustrate the process on how to solve for the discriminant of a quadratic equation?
To find the discriminant of a quadratic equation following the steps:
Write the quadratic equation in standard form.
Identify the values of a, b and c.
Substitute the values of a, b and c to the expression b2 – 4ac.
Illustrative Example 8:
a. Find the discriminant of x2 = 2x – 1.
Write the quadratic equation in standard form.
x2 = 2x – 1 → x2 – 2x + 1 = 0
The discriminant is 0.

How to describe the nature of the roots given the value of the discriminant?
Nature of Roots
In the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is b2 – 4ac.
1. If b2 – 4ac = 0, then the roots are real and equal.
2. If b2 – 4ac > 0, then the roots are real and unequal.
2.1. If b2- 4ac is a perfect square, then the roots are rational, real and unequal.
2.2. If b2- 4ac is not a perfect square, then the roots are irrational, real and unequal.
74 SMS-ARDC
MATHEMATICS 9
MATHEMATICS 9
Since the value of b2 – 4ac is zero, we can say that the roots of the quadratic equation x 2 – 4x + 4
= 0 are real numbers and are equal.
This can be checked by determining the roots of x2 – 4x + 4 = 0 using any of the methods of
solving quadratic equation.
Since the value of b2 – 4ac is positive, we can say that the roots of the quadratic equation x 2 + 7x
+ 10 = 0 are real numbers and are unequal. In addition, the discriminant is a perfect square, the
roots are rational.
This can be checked by determining the roots of x2 + 7x + 10 = 0 using any of the methods of
solving quadratic equation.
Since the value of b2 – 4ac is positive, we can say that the roots of the quadratic equation x 2 + 6x
+ 3 = 0 are real numbers and are unequal. In addition, the discriminant is not a perfect square,
the roots are irrational.
This can be checked by determining the roots of x2 + 6x + 3 = 0 using any of the methods of
solving quadratic equation.
Since the value of b2 – 4ac is negative, we can say that the roots of the quadratic equation x 2 + 2x
+ 5 = 0 are not real numbers.
This can be checked by determining the roots of x2 + 2x + 5 = 0 using any of the methods of
solving quadratic equation.

How to solve for the unknown coefficient of a quadratic equation given its nature of the roots?
Illustrative Example 10
a. For what value/s of k is the quadratic equation x2 + kx + 5 = 0 will have equal roots?
Solution:
To have equal roots means that the discriminant must be zero.
By substitution, k2 – 4(1)(5) = 0.
Solving for k, k2 – 20 = 0 → k = ± √ 20
Therefore, k = ± 2 √ 5.
b. For what value/s of k is the quadratic equation 2kx2 + kx + k = 1 will have equal roots?
Solution:
By substitution, k2 – 4(2k)(k-1) = 0.
c. For what value/s of k is the quadratic equation x2 + 5x + 2k = 0 will have no real roots?
Solution:
To have no real roots means that the discriminant must be less than zero.

many solutions exist, we still need accurate mathematical models and methods to obtain the

Pythagoras Euclid al-Khwarizmi Abraham bar Hiyya Gerolamo Cardano Simon Stevin
Quadratic function refers to a mathematical expression or term that is mainly used in solving
mathematical problems. This function is always in vertex form and it has minimum and maximum points,
which are obtained by the derivatives. In an independent variable, a quadratic function is a function whose
value is given by a quadratic polynomial. Quadratic function is often used when graphing.
The history of quadratics goes way back to 2000 BC when the Babylonians solved quadratics in
radicals. The idea of quadratics has greatly developed since then. Chinese and Babylonian mathematicians
solved quadratic equations by completing the square. When they solved quadratics, they would focus on
finding a length, and the length that was found was the root of the quadratic equation. The first steps
towards finding a general formula to solve quadratic equations trace back around 300 BC, when
mathematicians Pythagoras and Euclid found a method to solve the quadratic equation by focusing strictly
on geometry.
Pythagoras noted that the ratios found a general procedure to solve the quadratic equation. During
Euclid’s time, there didn’t exist the same notation for numbers and formulas that exist today, and because
of that, it was not possible to compute the square root of any number by hand. In 800 AD, al-Khwarizmi, a
Persian mathematician, created six new equations involving roots, squares of roots, and numbers which he
used to solve quadratic equations, and derived the quadratic equation. The algebra used by him was
entirely rhetorical, and he rejected negative solutions. These discoveries led Abraham bar Hiyya Ha-Nasi to
publish a book with the complete solution of the quadratic formula. In the year 1545, the Gerolamo
Cardano, a mathematician from Italy and also one of the best algebraists of his time, collected all the works
related to equations. Later in the year 1594, the quadratic formula was first obtained by Simon Stevin, who
was born in Bruges (now known as Belgium). Everything we know today stems off of these earlier
discoveries.5

The vertex form of a quadratic is given by y=a ( x – h )2+ k , where (h , k ) is the vertex.
The "a " in the vertex form is the same " a " as in y=a x2 +bx +c (that is, both a 's have exactly the
same value). The sign on "a " tells you whether the quadratic opens up or opens down.

Regardless of the format, the graph of a quadratic function y=a x2 +bx +c is called parabola.
1. It has a turning point called vertex which is either the lowest point or the highest point of
the graph. You have noticed that the parabola opens upward or downward. If the value of
a> 0, the parabola opens upward and has a minimum point. If a< 0, the parabola opens
downward and has a maximum point. If the quadratic function is expressed in the form
y=a ( x −h )2 +k , the vertex is the point (h , k ).
Note: The value of k is the maximum or the minimum value of the function.
2. There is a vertical line passing through the vertex called the axis of symmetry which
divides the graph into two parts such that one-half of the graph is a reflection of the other
half. If the quadratic function is expressed in the form y=a ( x – h )2+ k , line x=h is the axis
of symmetry.
3. The domain of a quadratic function is the set of all real numbers. The range depends on
whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If it opens upward, the range is the set
{ y : y ≥ k }; if it opens downward, then the range is the set { y : y ≤ k }.
4. The y-intercept of a graph is where it touches the y-axis. You will notice that whenever a
graph touches the y-axis, its x – value is equal to zero.
5. The x-intercept of a graph is where it touches the x-axis. You will notice that whenever a

What is the effect of changing the values of k in the equation y=a ( x – h )2+ k on its graph?
To graph y=a x2 +k , slide the graph of y=a x2 vertically k units. If k > 0 slide it upward; if k < 0,
slide it downward. The graph has vertex (0 , k ) and its axis of symmetry is the line x=0 (y –
axis).
In the example, y=x 2 – 2 (red) is 2 units below the graph of y=x 2 (blue).
Note:
To graph y=a ( x – h )2+ k , slide the graph of y=a x2 horizontally h units and vertically k units. The
graph has a vertex (h , k ) and its axis of symmetry is the line x=h .
If a< 0, the parabola opens downward. The same procedure can be applied in transforming the graph
of a quadratic function.

Illustrative Example 7:
Consider the quadratic function f (x)=5 ( x – 3 )2 + 4 at the right. Since the coefficient of x2 is positive, f has

How to determine the equation of a quadratic function given: (a) a table of values; (b) graph; (c) zeros?
You can go over the illustrative examples below to better understand the procedure on how to determine
the equation of a quadratic function given the table of values, graphs and zeros.
Illustrative Example 8:
a. Find a quadratic function whose zeros are −1 and 4 .
13
SMS-ARDC
7
MATHEMATICS 9
MATHEMATICS 9
Solution:
If the zeros are −1 and 4, then x=−1 or x=4. It follows that x +1=0 or x−4=0, then
( x +1)( x −4)=0 or x 2−3 x−4=0.
The equation of the quadratic function f (x)=( x 2−3 x−4 ) is not unique since there are other
quadratic functions whose zeros are −1 and 4 like f ( x )=2 x 2−6 x−8 , f (x)=3 x 2−9 x−12 and many
more. These equations of quadratic functions are obtained by multiplying the righthand side of the
equation by a nonzero constant.
Thus, the answer is f (x)=a( x 2−3 x−4) where a is any nonzero constant.
b. Determine the equation of the quadratic function represented by the table of values below.
x −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
y 24 16 10 6 4 4 6
Solution:
Notice that you can’t find any zeros from the given table of values. In this case, take any three ordered
pairs from the table, and use these as the values of x and y in the equation y=a x2 +bx +c . Let’s say
Multiply the terms in equation 2 by 2 and add corresponding terms in equation 3 to eliminate b .
20=2 a−2 b+2 c (Multiply equation 2 by 2)
4=4 a+ 2b +c (Equation 3)
_____________________
We have 24=6 a+ 3 c (Equation 5)
Notice that equation 4 and equation 5 constitute a system of linear equations in two variables. To
solve for c, multiply the terms in equation 4 by 3 and subtract corresponding terms in equation 5.
42=6 a+6 c (Multiply equation 4 by 3)
24=6 a+ 3 c (Equation 5)
_________________
We have 18=3 c
13
SMS-ARDC

MATHEMATICS 9
MATHEMATICS 9
c=6
Thus, a=1, b=−3, and c=6. Substitute these in f (x)=a x2 +bx +c ; the quadratic function is
f (x)= x2−3 x +6 .
When the vertex and any point on the parabola are clearly seen, the equation of the quadratic
function can easily be determined by using the form of a quadratic function y=a ( x −h )2 +k .
c. Find the equation of the quadratic function determined from the graph below.
Solution:
The vertex of the graph of the quadratic function is (2 ,−3). The graph passes through the point (5,0)
. By replacing x and y with 5 and 0, respectively, and h and k with 2 and −3, respectively, we have

How to model real-life situations using quadratic functions and solve problems involving quadratic
functions?
Illustrative Example 9:
What are the dimensions of the largest rectangular field that can be enclosed by 80 m of fencing wire?
Solution: Letl and w be the length and width of a rectangle. Then, the perimeter P of a rectangle is P
= 2l + 2w.
Since P = 80 m, thus,
2 l+ 2 w=80
l+w=40
l=40−w
Expressing the length as a function of w .
f (w)=40−w
The vertex of the graph of the function A(w) is (20, 400). This point indicates a maximum value of
400 for A(w) that occurs when w = 20. Thus, the maximum area is 400 m2 when the width is 20 m. If
the width is 20 m, then the length is (40 – 20) m or 20 m also. The field with maximum area is a
square.

Illustrative Example 10:
a. From a 96-foot building, an object is thrown straight up into the air then follows a trajectory. The
height S(t ) of the ball above the building after t seconds is given by the function S(t )=80 t – 16 t 2.
1. What maximum height will the object reach?
2. How long will it take the object to reach the maximum height?
3. Find the time at which the object is on the ground.
Solution:
1. The maximum height reached by the object is the ordinate of the vertex of the parabola of the
function S(t )=80 t – 16 t 2. By transforming this equation into the completed square form we
have,
S( t )=80 t – 16 t 2
S ( t ) =– 16 t 2+ 80 t
S ( t ) =– 16(t 2−5 t )

+100
The vertex is ( 52 , 100). Thus, the maximum height reached by the object is 100 ft from the top of
the building. This is 196 ft from the ground.
2. The time for an object to reach the maximum height is the abscissa of the vertex of the parabola
or the value of h .
S ( t ) =– 16 t 2+ 80 t
5 2
( )
S ( t ) =−16 t− +100

5
Since the value of h is or 2.5, then the object is at its maximum height after 2.5 seconds.

3. To find the time it will take the object to hit the ground, let (t )=−96 , since the height of the
building is 96 ft. The problem requires us to solve for t .
S ( t ) =– 16 t 2+ 80 t
−96=– 16 t 2 +80 t
16 t 2−80 t−96=0
t 2−5 t−6=0
(t−6)(t +1)=0
t=6∨t=−1
Thus, it will take 6 seconds before the object hits the ground.
b. A garments store sells about 40 t-shirts per week at a price of Php 100 each. For each Php 10
decrease in price, the sales lady found out that 5 more t-shirts per week were sold. Write a quadratic
function in standard form that models the revenue from t-shirt sales. What price produces the
maximum revenue?
Solution:
Let x be the number of additional number of t-shirts sold.
You know that Revenue R( x ) = (price per unit) × (number of units produced or sold).
14
SMS-ARDC

MATHEMATICS 9
MATHEMATICS 9
Thus, Php 90 is the price of the t-shirt that produces maximum revenue.
c. A number is 20 more than another number. Find the two numbers such that the product is the
minimum.
Solution:
Let x be the number, then x +20 is the other number.
P( x )=x ( x+ 20)
P( x ) = x 2+ 20 x
P( x )=¿ ( x +10)2−100
The vertex is (−10 ,−100) .
Thus, the minimum product is when the number is −10 and the other number is 10.
d. Find two consecutive odd integers such that the sum of their squares is minimum.
Solution:
Let x be the number, then x +2 is the other number.
P ( x ) =x 2+( x+ 2)2
P( x ) = x 2+ x2 + 4 x+ 4
P( x )=¿ 2 x2 + 4 x+ 4
P( x )=¿ 2(x +1)2 +2
The vertex is (−1 , 2) .
Thus, the minimum product is when the number integers are −1 and 1.

As of June 2007, the deepest free dive ever made was to a depth of 214 meters by Herbert
Nitsch. Do you know why humans cannot dive to a depth that submarines can?
You see, pressure increases as one dives deeper, and there is only so much pressure that
our body, especially our eardrums, can endure. When the pressure becomes too much, the
eardrums break, which leads to hearing problems.

Module 2: Geometry
Geometry is a rich source of knowledge, both theoretical and practical, that it should be
studied earnestly. A working knowledge of simple geometric shapes, with their properties and their
relationships, will contribute to the development of one's reasoning and analytical mind. Career men
use this knowledge to their advantage. Artists use geometric ideas to make their paintings more
realistic. Architects and engineers used geometric shapes to produce accurate scale drawings and
beautiful structures. These and many more applications to real-life situations depend primarily on
patterns and designs.7
Man-made structures today reveal how architecture has changed from its simple form during
the prehistoric and historic times into its more complex and grand form in this modern. As seen
above, man-made tunnels, buildings, and bridges show a combination of quadrilaterals and the
application of the concept of similarity, which will be discussed entirely in this module. 8

then
m∠3=90−m∠ 2=90−33=57 ° . By similar arguments, we have m∠ 4=m∠3 . Therefore,
m∠ 4=57 °.

One side of a kite is 5 cm less than 7 times the length of another. If the perimeter is 86 cm, find the
length of each side of the kite.
Solution:
Let the two unequal sides of a kite be a and b. Then we have b = 7a – 5.
Perimeter of a Kite = 2a + 2b, where a and b are the lengths of each side in each pair of equal sides.
The Perimeter of the given kite = 86 cm.
Thus, 86 = 2a + 2(7a - 5)→ 86 = 2a + 14a - 10 →86= 16a - 10.
16a = 96→a = 6 cm.
b = 7a – 5 = 7(6) – 5 = 42 – 5 – 37 cm.
The length of each side of the kite is 6 cm, 6 cm, 37cm and 37 cm.

Solution:
Since opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, then ∠ y or m∠ ADC=145 . Since
consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, then ∠ x or
m∠ BAD=180−145=35. Consequently, the angle opposite ∠ x is ∠ z . Thus, m∠ BCD=35.

Similar triangles may show up everywhere in real life even if we are unable to notice them at first.
The use of similar triangles is of utmost importance where it is beyond our reach to physically
measure the distances and heights with simple measuring instruments. Still there are many
applications that are beyond our knowledge where the simple concepts of similar triangles can
create magical consequences and influence that particular area to a great extent and aid us to
create a greater extent when we try to explore something new.
The uses of similar triangles thus can influence the varied number of fields. These numerous
applications are majorly in the fields of engineering, architecture and construction.

Music is an integral part of the lives of most people. Although the kind of music they prefer
will differ, all music is the effect of sound waves on the ear. Sound waves carry the energy of a
vibrating string or column of air to our ears. No matter what vibrating object is casing the sound
wave, the frequency of the wave (that is, the number of waves per second) creates a sensation that
we call the pitch of the sound. A sound wave with a high frequency produces a high pitch while a
sound wave with a lower frequency produces a lower pitch. When the frequencies of two sounds are
in the ratio of 2:1, the sounds differ by an octave and produce a pleasing combination. In general,
music is the result of the mixture of sounds that are mathematically related by whole-number ratios
of their frequencies.
Sound is just one of many physical entities that are transmitted by waves, light, radio,
television, X-rays, and microwaves are others. The trigonometric functions that we will study in this
chapter provide the mathematical basis for the study of waves. 11

Note: Use the following information for the discussion. You may use graphic organizers or any
presentational strategies to deliver the following information in a more concise yet thorough manner.
What is trigonometry?
Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon, "triangle" and metron, "measure”) is a branch
of mathematics that studies relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles. The field
emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd century BC from applications
of geometry to astronomical studies. Trigonometry in the modern sense began with
the Greeks. Hipparchus (c. 190 – 120 BCE) was the first to construct a table of values for
a trigonometric function.
What is an angle?
Definition Angle is the figure formed or generated by the rotation of the line segment around
a fixed point.
The first position is called initial side, while the final position is terminal side. The fixed
point is called the vertex.
Lowercase Greek letters, such as α (alpha), β (beta), γ (gamma), and θ (theta), will often
be used to denote angles. The direction of the rotation gives the sign of the angle. When the angle
is generated clockwise, it is negative. A positive angle is formed in the counterclockwise direction.
Notice in Figure (a) that the angle is positive because the direction of the rotation from the initial
side to the terminal side is counterclockwise. The angle in Figure (b) is negative because the
rotation is clockwise. The angle in Figure (c) is positive. Notice that the angle in Figure (a) and the
angle in Figure (c) have the same initial side and the same terminal side. However, α and β are
unequal, because the amount of rotation required to go from the initial side to the terminal side is
greater for angle than for angle.
234 SMS-ARDC
MATHEMATICS 9
MATHEMATICS 9
When an angle is in standard position, the terminal side will lie either in a quadrant, in
which case we say θ that lies in that quadrant, or the terminal side will lie on the x-axis or the y-
axis, in which case we say that θ is a quadrantal angle.

MATHEMATICS 9
Revolution System
A simple but logical system is the revolution system. In this system, angle is measured by
the number of revolutions or fraction of a revolution made by the terminal side in relation to the
initial side. The unit of measurement in this system is the revolution (rev) which is equivalent to
one whole angle.
Degree System
The degree system is patterned after the sexagesimal system of ancient Babylon. In this
system, the unit of measurement is the degree (° ). The whole angle is divided into 360degrees or
360 °, a number that is a multiple of 60.
Definition A degree is an angle formed by a rotation about its vertex equal to 1/360 of a
complete revolution.
The degree is further divided into minutes (‘) and the minutes into seconds (“) with the following
conversions:
1 °=60 ' 1 '=60 1 °=3600

Solution:
Radian System
Radian System is based on the relation between the radius and the circumference of a circle. The
unit of measurement is the radian (rad). A central angle is a positive angle whose vertex is at the
center of a circle. The rays of a central angle subtend (intersect) an arc on the circle. If the radius of
the circle is r and the length of the arc subtended by the central angle is also r , then the measure of
the angle is 1 radian.
Definition An angle of one radian is a central angle described by an arc whose length is
equal to the radius of the circle.

Arc Length
For a circle of radius r , a central angle of θ radians subtend an arc whose length s is
s=rθ
Note: θ in the arc length formula appears to be “dimensionless” but, in fact, is measured in radians.
So, in using the formula s=rθ, the dimension for θ is radians, and any convenient unit of length
(such as inches or meters) may be used for s and r.

longest side of the triangle and one of the two sides adjacent to angle θ . The adjacent leg is the
other side that is adjacent to angle θ . The opposite side is the side that is opposite to angle θ . The
terms perpendicular and base are sometimes used for the opposite and adjacent sides
respectively. Many people find it easy to remember what sides of the right triangle are equal to
sine, cosine, or tangent, by memorizing the word SOH-CAH-TOA (see below under Mnemonics).

How to solve oblique triangles using the laws of sines and cosines given an underlying condition?
Four conditions underlying the use of the solution of an oblique triangle:
1. Two angles and one side (not necessarily an included side) – AAS
2. Two sides and an angle opposite one of them – SSA
3. Two sides and an included angle – SAS
4. Three sides are given – SSS
Note: Calculators must be provided to the students and set your rules in expressing their answers.

Situation
Solution:
To find the altitude of the aircraft in the problem introduced in this section, consider the different
cases shown on the discussion on the solution of oblique triangles.
To find the elevation of the aircraft, we first find the distance from one station to the aircraft, such as
the side a , and then use right triangle relationships to find the height of the aircraft, h .
Because the angles in the triangle add up to 180 degrees, the unknown angle must be
180°−15°−35°=130°. This angle is opposite the side of length 20, allowing us to set up a Law of
Sines relationship.

A central angle of the unit circle that intercepts an arc of the circle with length 1
unit is said to have a measure of one radian, written 1 rad.
In trigonometry, the degree measure is often used. On the other hand, in some fields of
mathematics like calculus, radian measure of angles is preferred. Radian measure allows us to
treat the trigonometric functions as functions with the set of real numbers as domains, rather than
angles.
Angles on unit circle are measured in terms of complete revolutions and fractions of
revolutions.

What are the circular functions of any angle on the unit circle?
A circular function can be defined in terms of an arc length and the coordinates of the
terminal point of the arc on the unit circle.
Let θ be an angle in the standard position and let the point ( x , y ) be a point on the terminal
side of θ . Then,
y 1 1
sin θ= = y csc θ= = ; y≠0
r sin θ y
x 1 1
cos θ= =x sec θ= = ;x ≠ 0

The sine, cosine, and tangent functions are known as the basic circular function. The cosecant,
secant, and cotangent functions are called the reciprocal functions because they are simply the
reciprocal of the basic circular functions.

true for some x ). For example, sin x=cos x is true for x= but false for x=0 .
4
An identity is an equation that is always true whenever both sides of the equation are
defined. For example, as will be shown later, sin ( π2 −x)=cos x is true for all x. Note also
that this equation holds true whether x is a real number or an angle in degree or radian
measure.
Solution:
a. When t=0 , cos t=1 and cos ( π−t ) =−1. Thus, the equation cos t=cos ( π −t ) cannot be
true for all t . It is a conditional statement.
b. A table for a few values of t suggests that sin t=sin ( π−t ) is an identity.

However, we cannot conclude that the equation is true for all t based only on some
values of t . We need to provide a proof. Let t ∈ R and let P ( t ) be the terminal point on
the unit circle determined by t (see figure a). if P ( t ) has coordinates ( x , y ) , then P ( π −t )
has the coordinates (−x , y ) (see figure b). both points have the same y , hence produce
the same sine values. Thus, sin t=sin ( π−t ) is an identity.

up in the sky, that you should say, 'Who will go up in the sky to get it for us and tell us of it, that
we may carry it out?' Nor is it across the sea, that you should say, 'Who will cross the sea to get it
for us and tell us of it, that we may carry it out?' No, it is something very near to you, already in
your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out.

Thus, the six trigonometric functions have no inverse. However, if we restrict the domain
of each function so that it is one-to-one on the restricted domain, we can define the inverse for
each function, starting with the sine, cosine, and tangent functions.

2 2
−π π
y=sin−1 x if and only if x=sin y , ≤ y≤ .
2 2
The inverse cosine function, denoted by cos−1 is the inverse of the restricted cosine function
y=cos x , 0 ≤ x ≤ π . That is
y=cos−1 x if and only if x=cos y , 0 ≤ y ≤ π .
The inverse tangent function, denoted by tan−1 is the inverse of the restricted tangent function

y=tan −1 x if and only if x=tan y , < y< .

Other notations for sin−1, cos−1, tan−1 are arcsin, arccos, and arctan, respectively.
One way to think about the value of an inverse function, say sin −1 x , is as the number or

When you ride a Ferris wheel that has a diameter of 40 meters and
turns at a rate of 1.5 revolutions per minute, the height above the
ground, in meters, of your seat after t minutes can be modeled by the
equation h=21−20 cos 3 πt . How long after the ride starts will your
seat first be 31 meters above the ground?
Note: Save the explanation of these activity later when discussion the

Technically, the basic method to show that a particular number is a solution of an equation
is to substitute the number to the variable and see if the equation becomes true. However, we may
use our knowledge gained from the previous lessons to do a quicker verification process by not
doing the manual substitution and checking. We use this technique in the example.

6. sin x +cos x=0 12. 2 tan x+ 4 sin x=2+ sec x
Solution: (Note that the choices (except 2 π ) are numbers within the interval [ 0 , π ]To quickly
determine which numbers among the choices are solutions to a particular equation, we use some
distinctive properties of the possible solutions.)

cot x= . Among the choices, the only solution of cot x= is while cot x= has

5. The given equation is one of the Pythagorean Identities. It means that all numbers in the
domain of the equation are solutions. The domain of the equation is ℜ \ { x : cos x=0 } .
π
Thus, all except are solutions of sec 2 x−tan 2 x=1 .

sin x +cos x=0
7. This equation is one of the Double-Angle Identities for Cosine. This means that all
numbers in the domain of the equation are its solutions. Because the domain of the given
equation is ℜ, all numbers in the given set are solutions of cos 2 x=cos 2 x +sin 2 x.
8. We substitute each number in the choices to the expression on the left-side of the
equation, and select those numbers that give resulting values equal to 0.

Goal: Your task is to apply your knowledge on the concepts of trigonometric ratios in measuring with
precision and accuracy the height of the buildings of your school.
Role: You are aspiring Civil Engineers.
Audience: Teacher as the principal who will assess your work.
Situation: Your school has recently won a radio contest to have a stuntman come and perform stunts
in your gym.
To perform his stunts, he will need to run a support wire from the gym roof in the top corner
where the wall meets the roof down an anchor point on the gym floor as shown in the diagram.
Your job is to calculate the height of the wall, and the length of the wire he needs to install.
You will determine where the anchor point should be from the wall, and include this measurement in
your calculations. Since the stuntman is American, you will need to provide the measurements to him
in imperial, and your principal wants the measurements in metric.
Use the clinometer made in the scaffold activity, and measure the angle of elevation to use in your
