  2. Why does tan equal to sin/cos? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/why-does-tan-equal-to-sin-cos

    sinθ = opposite adjacent = opp adj. The result follow from : sinθ cosθ = opp hyp adj hyp = (opp hyp) ⋅ (hyp adj) = opp adj = tanθ. Answer link. The best answer to this question depends on the definitions you're using for the trigonometric functions: Unit circle: t correspond to point (x,y) on the circle x^2+y^2 =1 Define: sint = y, , cos ...

  3. Proving Identities - Trigonometry - Socratic

    socratic.org/trigonometry/trigonometric-identities-and-equations/proving...

    The Trigonometric Identities are equations that are true for Right Angled Triangles. Periodicity of trig functions. Sine, cosine, secant, and cosecant have period 2π while tangent and cotangent have period π. Identities for negative angles. Sine, tangent, cotangent, and cosecant are odd functions while cosine and secant are even functions.

  4. Fundamental Identities - Trigonometry - Socratic

    socratic.org/trigonometry/trigonometric-identities-and-equations/fundamental...

    Divide the fundamental identity # sin^2x + cos^2x = 1# by #sin^2x# or #cos^2x# to derive the other two: #sin^2x/sin^2x + cos^2x/sin^2x = 1/sin^2x#. #1 + cot^2x = csc^2x#. #sin^2x/cos^2x + cos^2x/cos^2x = 1/cos^2x#. #tan^2x + 1 = sec^2x#. Kevin B. · 1 · Feb 22 2015.

    For very small values of x, the functions \\sin(x), x, and \\tan(x) are all approximately equal. This can be found by using the Squeeze Law.

  8. How do you simplify #cos(arctan(x)) - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-simplify-cos-arctan-x

    #cos a = 1/sqrt ( 1 + x^2 ), x in ( - pi/2, pi/2 )#. It is important that #cos a >= 0#, for #a in Q_1# or #Q_4#. If the piecewise-wholesome general inverse operator #(tan)^( - 1 ) # is used, #cos (tan)^(-1) x, = +-1/sqrt( 1 + x^2)# the negative sign is chosen, when #x in Q_3#. Example: #cos (arctan 1 ) = 1/sqrt 2, arctan 1 = pi/4.#

  9. Half-Angle Identities - Trigonometry - Socratic

    socratic.org/trigonometry/trigonometric-identities-and-equations/half-angle...

    Half angle Identities in term of t = tan a/2. tana = 2t 1 − t2. Use of half angle identities to solve trig equations. Example. Solve cosx + 2 ⋅ sinx = 1 +tan(x 2). Solution. Call t = tan(x 2). Use half angle identities (2) and (3) to transform the equation. 1 − t2 4 + 1 +t2 4 = 1 + t.

  10. Is sine, cosine, tangent functions odd or even? | Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/is-sine-cosine-tangent-functions-odd-or-even

    y = cos x is always going to be even, because cosine is an even function. For example, cos #pi/4# in the first quadrant is a positive number and cos #-pi/4# (same as cos #pi/4#) in the fourth quadrant is also positive, because cosine is positive in quadrants 1 and 4, so that makes it an even function. (When comparing even and odd function, use ...
