Exact vs. Approximate Values
Exact values of trig functions are values that can
not be found with most calculators.
Example:
Approximate values of trig functions are values
that can be found with a calculator.

Example 1
FINDING FUNCTION VALUES WITH A
CALCULATOR
Approximate the value of each expression.
(a) sin 49¡ã12¡ä
¡Ö .75699506
(b) sec 97.977¡ã
Calculators do not have a secant
key, so first find cos 97.977¡ã and
then take the reciprocal.
