what are the 6 trigonometric functions?
- sine: sin
- cosine: cos
- tangent: tan
SOH-CAH-TOA
SOH: Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
CAH: Cosine: Adiacent/Hypotenuse
TOA = Tangent = Opposite/Adiacent
- cotangent: cot
- secant: sec
- cosecant: co
What is sin(0°)?
0
What is sin(30°)?
1/2
What is sin(45°)?
√2/2
What is sin(60°)?
√3/2
What is sin(90°)?
1
What is cos(0°)?
1
What is cos(30°)?
√3/2
What is cos(45°)?
√2/2
What is cos(60°)?
1/2
What is cos(90°)?
0
What is tan(0°)?
0
What is tan(30°)?
√3/3
What is tan(45°)?
1
What is tan(60°)?
√3
What is tan(90°)?
Undefined (because sin 90 degrees = 1 and cos 90degrees equal 0) so 1/0 = undefined
What is the Pythagorean identity for sin and cos?
sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
What is the Pythagorean identity for tan and sec?
1 + tan²θ = sec²θ
What is the Pythagorean identity for cot and csc?
1 + cot²θ = csc²θ
What is sin(-θ)?
-sin(θ)
What is cos(-θ)?
cos(θ)
What is tan(-θ)?
-tan(θ)
What is sin(90° - θ)?
cos(θ)
What is cos(90° - θ)?
sin(θ)
