Find the reference angles for α and β below.
α = 217º
37º
β = 301º
59º
α' = 217º − 180º = 37º
β' = 360º − 301º = 59º

The trig functions for any angle θ may differ from the
trig functions of the reference angle θ' only in sign.

A function is periodic if
f(x + np) = f(x)
for every x in the domain of f,
every integer n,
and some positive number p (called the period).
