What is the definition of the sine function in a right triangle?
Sine of an angle is equal to the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.
What is the definition of the cosine function in a right triangle?
Cosine of an angle is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse.
What is the definition of the tangent function in a right triangle?
Tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
What is the Pythagorean identity in trigonometry?
The Pythagorean identity is sin²θ + cos²θ = 1.
What is the formula for tangent in terms of sine and cosine?
tanθ = sinθ/cosθ.
How do you express sine in terms of cosine?
sinθ = √(1 - cos²θ).
How do you express cosine in terms of sine?
cosθ = √(1 - sin²θ).
What is the formula for secant in terms of cosine?
secθ = 1/cosθ.
What is the formula for cosecant in terms of sine?
cscθ = 1/sinθ.
What is the formula for cotangent in terms of tangent?
cotθ = 1/tanθ.
How do you express cotangent in terms of sine and cosine?
cotθ = cosθ/sinθ.
What is the co-function identity relating sine and cosine?
sin(90° - θ) = cosθ and cos(90° - θ) = sinθ.
What is the angle sum identity for sine?
sin(α + β) = sinα cosβ + cosα sinβ.
What is the angle sum identity for cosine?
cos(α + β) = cosα cosβ - sinα sinβ.
What is the angle sum identity for tangent?
tan(α + β) = (tanα + tanβ) / (1 - tanαtanβ).
