secant
hypotnuse/adj
cosecant
hyp/opp
cotangent
adj/opp
trig functions are…?
FUNCTIONS
you plug in angles and they spit out fractions
they must have arguments
pythagorean triplet
a triangle consisting of 3 positive integers (a,b,c) such that a^2 + b^2 = c^2
cosecant reciprocal identity
1/sin of theta
secant reciprocal identity
1/cos of theta
cotangent reciprocal identity
1/tan of theta
tangent identity
tan = sin/cos
pythagorean identity 1
sin^2theta + cos^2theta = 1
*sint^2theta = (sin theta)^2
pythagorean identity 2
tan^2theta + 1 = sec^2theta
1 + cot^2theta = csc^2theta
cofunction identities
sin theta = cos (90 - theta)
sec theta = csc (90 - theta)
etc.
*identities also apply in reverse
cotangent reciprocal identity 2
cos/sin
30-60-90 triangle
30 - 1
60 - root 3
90 - 2
cos 30 is?
root 3/2
sin 60
