FAQs on NCERT Exemplar: Trigonometric Functions - Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What are trigonometric functions and why are they important in mathematics?
Ans. Trigonometric functions are mathematical functions that relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. The primary trigonometric functions are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). They are important in mathematics because they are used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and computer graphics to analyze periodic phenomena, model waveforms, and solve problems involving angles and distances.
2. How can I find the values of trigonometric functions for common angles?
Ans. The values of trigonometric functions for common angles like 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° can be found using a unit circle or by memorizing the standard values. For example, sin(30°) = 1/2, cos(60°) = 1/2, and tan(45°) = 1. These values are often presented in trigonometric tables or can be derived from the properties of special triangles.
3. What is the significance of the unit circle in trigonometry?
Ans. The unit circle is a circle with a radius of one centered at the origin of a coordinate system. It is significant in trigonometry because it provides a geometric representation of trigonometric functions. The coordinates of points on the unit circle correspond to the values of cosine and sine for the angles measured from the positive x-axis, helping to visualize the relationships between angles and side lengths.
4. How do the graphs of trigonometric functions look, and what are their key characteristics?
Ans. The graphs of trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent are periodic and have distinct shapes. The sine and cosine graphs oscillate between -1 and 1, with a period of 2π. The tangent graph has a period of π and has vertical asymptotes where the function is undefined. Key characteristics include amplitude, frequency, and phase shift, which can be adjusted by modifying the function's equation.
5. What are some practical applications of trigonometric functions in real life?
Ans. Trigonometric functions have numerous practical applications in real life. They are used in architecture to calculate structural loads and angles, in navigation for determining positions and distances, in computer graphics for rendering curves and animations, and in physics for analyzing waves and oscillations. Their applications extend to fields like astronomy, engineering, and even music for sound wave analysis.
