Angles and Trigonometry

Angle Measurement & Conversion

Definition: An angle (, কোণ) is defined as the ratio of the arc length (, বৃত্ত চাপ) to the radius (, ব্যাসার্ধ), expressed as .

  • Units: The primary units are Degrees and Radians.
  • Conversions:
  • Sub-units of Degrees:

Trigonometric Ratios & Identities

Core Ratios and Values: Based on a right-angled triangle with Perpendicular (), Base (), and Hypotenuse ():

  • Pythagorean Identities:
  • Additional Formulas:
  • Small Angle Approximation ()
    When the Angle Is Very Small (Typically less than ), the Trigonometric Functions Simplify Drastically.
    • ! CRITICAL: For and , Must Be Converted to Radians for This to Work!

Angles Greater than 90° (ASTC Rule)

  • The quadrant system determines the sign of the trigonometric ratio:

    • Quadrant I: All positive.
    • Quadrant II: Sin and Cosec positive.
    • Quadrant III: Tan and Cot positive.
    • Quadrant IV: Cos and Sec positive.
  • When calculating using :

    • is the Quadrant number.
    • If is even, the function remains the same (e.g., ).
    • If is odd, the function changes (e.g., , , ).

Negative Angles

Here and are positive with negative angles, while remain negative.

The 37° / 53° Special Triangle

In a 3-4-5 right-angled triangle, the angle opposite to the side of length 3 is , and the angle opposite to the side of length 4 is . The hypotenuse is always 5. The angles are interchangeable

  • For 37° Angle:
  • For 53° Angle:

Geometric Progression (GP)

A sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the Common Ratio ().

  • Divergent Series: The terms keep growing (e.g., ) and the sum tends to infinity.
  • Convergent Series: The terms get progressively smaller (e.g., ).
    • Common Ratio (): .
    • Sum of Infinite Convergent Series:
      (where is the first term and ).

Binomial Approximation

When dealing with expansions of powers, we can use a simplified approximation if the second term is extremely small compared to .

  • Formula: (Valid strictly when ).

Calculus: Differentiation (অবকলন)

Differentiation represents the rate of change of one physical quantity with respect to another.

  • Velocity: (Rate of change of displacement).
  • Acceleration: (Rate of change of velocity).

Calculus: Integration (সমাকলন)

Integration is mathematically the reverse process of differentiation. It is used to find areas under curves.
