Trigonometri

Trigonometri merupakan cabang ilmu matematika yang mempelajari tentang garis dan sudut suatu segitiga.

Hubungan antara garis dan sudut ini lah yang akan menjadi fungsi-fungsi trigonometri.

Berikut ini adalah fungsi dasarnya (sinus, cosinus, tangen):

Pada segitiga ABC di samping, dengan panjang AB adalah q, BC = p, dan AC = r, serta sudut CAB = X, maka berlaku:

, , 

Kemudian , , 

Trigonometri Untuk Sudut Istimewa

Pada sudut istimewa, yaitu  dan kelipatannya, nilai sinus, cosinus, dan tangennya berupa bilangan sederhana, seperti pada tabel di samping.

Sedangkan nilai sec, cosec, dan cot dapat diperoleh dengan menggunakan hubungannya dengan sin, cos, dan tan di atas.

Nilai sin, cos, dan tan sudut istimewa ini harus hafal, karena akan selalu digunakan untuk materi lainnya seperti integral, limit, dll.

Contoh soal:

Pada segitiga siku-siku ABC dengan sisi miring BC dan sisi tegak AB, panjang BC = 5cm, dan panjang AB = 4cm, tentukanlah nilai dari cos C.

Jawaban:

Cos C = AC/BC. Panjang AB dan BC sudah diketahui, tetapi panjang AC belum harus kita cari terlebih dahulu.

Karena segitiga tersebut siku-siku, maka dapat digunakan dalil pythagoras, yaitu AC^2 = BC^2 – AB^2 =  5^2 – 4^2 = 9. Jadi panjang AC = 3cm

Oleh karena itu, 

Note: Untuk sudut istimewa kelipatannya, seperti dan sebagainya, dapat diperoleh dengan menggunakan sifat jumlah dan selisih sudut.

Allah SWT

Meaning of the Word Allah:

Allah is the Arabic word for "God." It is also considered by Muslims to be one of the names of God. Therefore, whenever Muslims mention Allah, they are simply referring to the one true God. In fact, even non-Muslim Arabs such as Christian Arabs use the word Allah to refer to God.

The term Allah has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural, gods, or feminine, goddess. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. Islam rejects likening Allah to any of his creation.

Why We Usually Write "(swt)" After Mentioning Allah:

Most Muslims append "(swt)" after mentioning Allah. This is an acronym for the Arabic words: "Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala," which roughly translated means "The most glorified, the most high." It is a way for Muslims to glorify Allah when mentioning His name.

Is Allah the Same God Worshipped by Christians and Jews?

Muslims believe that there is only one true God. While various nations and people claim to have various God's with various names, attributes and abilities, Muslims believe that there is in fact only one God.

Therefore, while Muslims do not agree with others about some of the attributes of God, we believe that there is only one God. For example, Muslims do not agree with the Christian belief of trinity, and in fact this is considered blasphemy as Islam teaches that there is only one God, not three.

Allah (swt) as Described in the Holy Qur'an:

The only source of information we have as humans about Allah is through divine knowledge sent to mankind through messengers. The holy Qur'an, which is the word of God revealed to humanity through God's messenger, gives us some information about Allah:

Allah (swt) said: "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 112, verses 1-4)

Allah (swt) said: "Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the Signs of Allah, it is they who will be in loss. Say: 'Is it someone other than Allah that ye order me to worship, O ye ignorant ones?'" (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 39, verses 62-64)

Allah (swt) said: "Behold! they fold up their hearts, that they may lie hid from Him! But even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knoweth what they conceal, and what they reveal: for He knoweth well the (inmost secrets) of the hearts. There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on Allah: He knoweth the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: all is in a clear Record." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 11, verses 5-6)

Allah (swt) said: "No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have Lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him! He knows what is hidden and what is open; too high is He for the partners they attribute to Him!" (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 23, verses 91-92)

Allah (swt) said: "He is God; there is no god but He, He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible; He is the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. He is God, there is no God but He. He is the King, the All-Holy, the All-Peace, the Guardian of Faith, the All-Preserver, the All-Mighty, the All-Compeller, the All-Sublime. Glory be to God, above that they associate! He is God the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper. To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful. All that is in the heavens and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 59, verses 22-24)

Allah (swt) said: "There is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His throne comprises the heavens and earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the All-Glorious." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 2, verse 255)

Allah (swt) said: "People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him - (He is) above having a son." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 4, verse 171)

Allah (swt) said: "Act equitably; Indeed, Allah loves the equitable." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 49, verse 9)

Allah (swt) said: "Truly, Allah loves those who repent, and loves those who care for cleanliness." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 2, verse 222)

Allah (swt) said: "In the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 1, verse 1)

Allah (swt) said: "My Mercy has embraced all things." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 7, verse 156)

Allah (swt) said: "Allah is better [than any one] at guarding, and He is The Most Merciful of those who show mercy." (Holy Qur'an, Chapter 12, verse 64)

The Hungry Mouse

A mouse was having a very bad time. She could find no food at all. She looked here and there, but there was no food, and she grew very thin.
At last the mouse found a basket, full of corn. There was a small hole in the basket, and she crept in. She could just get through the hole.
Then she began to eat the corn. Being very hungry, she ate a great deal, and went on eating and eating. She had grown very fat before she felt that she had had enough.
When the mouse tried to climb out of the basket, she could not. She was too fat to pass through the hole.
" How shall I climb out?" said the mouse. "oh, how shall I climb out?"
Just then a rat came along, and he heard the mouse.
"Mouse," said the rat, "if you want to climb out of the basket, you must wait till you have grown as thin as you were when you went in."

Lenny The Flying Inventor

image: http://www.kidsgen.com/short_stories/images/lenny.png
Once upon a time there was a funny guy named Lenny. Lenny was an inventor. He invented all kinds of contraptions. His house looked like a mess, but he had some really cool things. One day Lenny decided he wanted to fly.

"I am going to invent some wings and fly," Lenny told his friend Rudy.

"Now I really know you're crazy. You won't even get off the ground," said Rudy.

"You'll see," said Lenny.

So he went down to his workshop and began working. Day and night, he worked. No one saw Lenny for weeks. Then one day he came out of his workshop with a great big grin on his face.

He called Rudy on the phone. "Rudy, tomorrow I will fly, but I need your help," said Lenny.

"Did you really build some wings?" asked Rudy.

"Yeah and they are really beautiful," said Lenny. "They're a little heavy though. I need you to help me drag them up to the top of Kill Devil Hill."

"What did you make them out of?" asked Rudy.

"I made them out of some scrap metal I had laying around from when I built my helicopter last year," said Lenny.

"Metal! Don't you think that will be too heavy to use for wings?" asked Rudy.

"No, I calculated all of the angles. I will be like a human airplane," said Lenny.

Rudy just rolled his eyes. "Ok, I will be over first thing in the morning and we'll try them out," said Rudy.

"See you then," said Lenny.

The next morning they dragged the wings up to the top of Kill Devil Hill and Lenny strapped them on.

"Are you sure those are not too heavy? asked Rudy again.

"No, the faster I run, the lighter they will get. The wind will lift me up and I will be flying," said Lenny, quite confidently.

"All right, I am going to get a running start and take off," said Lenny. So, Lenny backed up about fifty feet and started running. As he ran, the weight of the wings started to wear out his legs and he got lower and lower to the ground. Just as he got to the crest of the hill, his legs gave out and he skidded across the ground on his face.

After Rudy rolled around on the ground laughing for about a minute, he got up and asked Lenny if he was Ok.

"Yeah, Yeah, real funny," said Lenny. "I guess you may be right they are a little heavy, but I know the shape is just right. I will just go back to the workshop and make them out of another material. Something lighter"

A couple of weeks later Lenny called up Rudy.

"I've done it," said Lenny.

"You've done what?" asked Rudy.

"I reworked the wings. I made them out of wood and tissue paper. These things are so light I may get going by simply jumping off the roof. Come on over, I need a witness," said Lenny. "I'm on the way," said Rudy.

When Rudy arrived, Lenny was already up on the roof with these hilarious looking pink wings.

"Pink wings!" laughed Rudy.

"Yeah, this is the stuff I had left over from when I invented that giant Pig robot we used on Halloween last year," said Lenny.

"So you think you're just going to jump off and fly?" asked Rudy.

"Yeah. Here goes," said Lenny.

He backed up a little and took a quick dash and a jump.

Aaaaaaaaaaagh, SMACK! The wings broke right off and Lenny landed on his head in the middle of some bushes next to the house.

After Rudy rolled around on the ground laughing for about a minute, he got up and asked Lenny if he was Ok.

"Yeah, Yeah, real funny," said Lenny. "I guess they may have been a little weak, but I know the shape is just right. I will just go back to the workshop and make them out of another material. Something not as heavy as the scrap metal and not as light as the tissue paper."

"Sounds like a good idea to me," said Rudy as he rolled his eyes.

A couple of weeks later Lenny called up Rudy.

"I've really done it this time," said Lenny.

"You've done what?" asked Rudy.

"I reworked the wings. I made them out of wax and balsa wood. These things look just like bird's wings. Meet me at Kill Devil Hill, I need a witness," said Lenny.

"I'm on the way," said Rudy.

When Rudy arrived, he saw the wings. They did look good!

"I need you to help me strap them on," said Lenny.

Rudy helped him strap on the wings. They fit real snug. There was a handle under each wing out near the tip for Lenny to use to move the wings up and down and a belt that went around his waste so that they would not fall off.

"Here we go," yelled Lenny as he backed up and began running towards the crest of the hill.

He didn't slow down and just as he got to the edge of the hill, he started to lift up into the air. He was flying! YAHOOO! Yelled Lenny.

He flew and flew just laughing and hooting. He flew higher and higher. He was really getting high now, and he started to worry. "How do I land these things?" he asked himself.

That question was about to be answered. All of a sudden, he noticed that his wings were starting to melt. He had risen so high, that the sun was starting to melt the wax he used to make the wings. Pretty soon he had little tiny wings and he was flying about a hundred miles an hour down towards the woods.

"Boy this is going hurt again," said Lenny to himself.

He crashed into the trees.

Rudy ran up, "Are you all right?" he asked.

"Yeah, I think so, but I am definitely going to quit trying to fly. This is too rough on the body," said Lenny.

To this day, no one believes Rudy when he tells the story of how Lenny flew like a bird. It may be good that they do not believe him, because others would probably get hurt, as did Lenny. Lenny also made a commitment not to invent anything that cannot be used while standing firmly on the ground.

He often tells people, "If people were meant to fly, they would have wings!"

How To Make Curry Sauce

Who doesn’t love curry sauce? It forms the basis of the classic comfort dish that us Brits adore.

Finished off with tender chunks of chicken or fish, lovely seasonal veggies, or simply served on its own with paratha or naan bread for dunking (or poured over chips if you’re being really naughty!), curry sauce can be taken in plenty of delicious directions.
This tikka masala sauce is a brilliant recipe to master as it’s such a crowd-pleaser. With a spiced, creamy coconut and tomato base, it’s a good one to make if you’ve got a mixture of vegetarians and meat-eaters coming over for dinner. You just need to make up a double, or triple batch and serve with either chicken, fish or vegetables. This recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people, so freeze any leftovers for a quick curry another night.

CRACKING CURRY SAUCE
Peel 2 onions and 4 cloves of garlic, then finely slice with 1 to 2 fresh red chillies and the stalks from 1 bunch of fresh coriander (reserving the leaves for later).
image: http://cdn.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/How_to_curry_sauce_14683_preview.jpg

Put it all into a large casserole pan on a medium-high heat with a lug of olive oil and cook for around 20 minutes, or until golden, stirring regularly.
image: http://cdn.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/How_to_curry_sauce_14687_preview1.jpg

Add 1 level tablespoon of ground coriander, 2 level teaspoons of turmeric and 1 heaped teaspoon each of paprika and garam masala. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add and toast 6 tablespoons of ground almonds.image: http://cdn.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/How_to_curry_sauce_14723_preview.jpg

Pour in 2 x 400g tins of plum tomatoes, crumble in 1 organic chicken stock cube and add 300ml of boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
image: http://cdn.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/How_to_curry_sauce_14734_preview1.jpg

Stir in 2 x 400g tins of light coconut milk and simmer for a final 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, then season to perfection.

Now jazz it up however you like. Add grilled chicken, fish or vegetables, if you like, then swirl through some natural yoghurt, sprinkle with your reserved coriander leaves, and serve. Delicious with parathas or fluffy basmati rice

How To Make Sweet Potato Fried

Source : http://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/how-to-make-sweet-potato-fries/#Qcx8s5UAy9C27US3.97

Sweet potatoes are a great non-starchy carb, so count towards our 5-a-day tally, plus they contain more vitamin C than regular potatoes, which our bodies need and utilise every day.

Deliciously sweet and creamy, they’re great baked whole and served with a dollop of thick yoghurt and sliced spring onions, simply mashed, chopped or roasted then stirred into veggie chillies and curries, or made into soup.
When sweet potatoes really come into their own is when they’re cut into wedges and baked into crispy fries. Seasoned with paprika, these fries are spiced and sweet all at once, and far healthier than the shop-bought ones. Plus, they’re a real favourite with the kids, so get them to help you make them, too.

HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO FRIES

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Wash 2 large sweet potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing well with a scrubber to get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them)

Cut each sweet potato in half lengthways, cut each half in half lengthways, then each piece in half again so you end up with 8 wedges

Add to a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle over a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and ½ a teaspoon of sweet smoked paprika

Spread out into a single layer in a large baking tray, then bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through
image: http://cdn.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/How_to_spicy_sweet_potato_wedges_14672_preview1.jpg

Leave to sit for a couple of minutes (this will make it easier to remove them from the tray), then use a fish slice to transfer them to a serving dish
