SPECIAL ANGLES
\medskip
When you start the test, write this down:
$$\matrix{
{\sqrt0\over2}&{\sqrt1\over2}&{\sqrt2\over2}&{\sqrt3\over2}&{\sqrt4\over2}\cr
\cr
0^\circ&30^\circ&45^\circ&60^\circ&90^\circ\cr
}$$
The pattern should be easy to remember:
The square roots of 0 to 4, and then the special angles.
Visualize the graph of the sine function starting at zero.
\medskip
The graph of the cosine function starts at 1 so reverse the
pattern for cosine.
$$\matrix{
{\sqrt0\over2}&{\sqrt1\over2}&{\sqrt2\over2}&{\sqrt3\over2}&{\sqrt4\over2}\cr
\cr
0^\circ&30^\circ&45^\circ&60^\circ&90^\circ\cr
\cr
90^\circ&60^\circ&45^\circ&30^\circ&0^\circ\cr
}$$
\end
