Because tan θ > 0, θ lies either in quadrant I or in quadrant III. However, cos θ > 0 for θ in quadrant I; so θ must lie in quadrant III. It doesn’t hurt to sketch this diagram. R&M suggest “All Students Take Calculus.”

All rights reserved PROCEDURE FOR USING REFERENCE ANGLES TO FIND TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTION VALUES Step 1If the > 360º, then find a coterminal angle for between 0º and 360º. Otherwise, go to Step 2. Step 2Find the reference angle for the angle resulting in Step 1. Write the trigonometric function of .

All rights reserved EXAMPLE 6 The Flight of a Golf Ball A golf ball is hit on a level fairway with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec and an initial angle of flight of 30º. Find its range (the horizontal distance it traveled before hitting the ground) and its maximum height. Solution Use the height equation h = v 0 t sin θ − 16t 2 with v 0 = 128 and θ = 30º.
19
19 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved EXAMPLE 6 The Flight of a Golf Ball Solution continued h = 128t sin 30° − 16t 2 Replace sin 30° with and simplify. h = 64t − 16t 2 = 16t(t – 4) The graph of this equation is a parabola; the portion of the graph with h(t) > 0 represents the flight path of the ball.
20
20 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved EXAMPLE 6 The Flight of a Golf Ball Solution continued Find the vertex: and h(2) = 64(2) – 16(2) 2 = 64; so the vertex is (2, 64) and the maximum height is 64 ft. Since h(4) = 0 the ball is in flight for 4 seconds.
