The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the
y -value to the
x -value of the corresponding point on the unit circle.
The secant, cotangent, and cosecant are all reciprocals of other functions. The secant is the reciprocal of the cosine function, the cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent function, and the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine function.
The six trigonometric functions can be found from a point on the unit circle. See
[link] .
Trigonometric functions can also be found from an angle. See
[link] .
Trigonometric functions of angles outside the first quadrant can be determined using reference angles. See
[link] .
A function is said to be even if
and odd if
Cosine and secant are even; sine, tangent, cosecant, and cotangent are odd.
Even and odd properties can be used to evaluate trigonometric functions. See
[link] .
The Pythagorean Identity makes it possible to find a cosine from a sine or a sine from a cosine.
Identities can be used to evaluate trigonometric functions. See
[link] and
[link] .
Fundamental identities such as the Pythagorean Identity can be manipulated algebraically to produce new identities. See
[link] .
The trigonometric functions repeat at regular intervals.
The period
of a repeating function
is the smallest interval such that
for any value of
The values of trigonometric functions of special angles can be found by mathematical analysis.
To evaluate trigonometric functions of other angles, we can use a calculator or computer software. See

On an interval of
can the sine and cosine values of a radian measure ever be equal? If so, where?
Yes, when the reference angle is
and the terminal side of the angle is in quadrants I and III. Thus, at
the sine and cosine values are equal.
What would you estimate the cosine of
degrees to be? Explain your reasoning.
For any angle in quadrant II, if you knew the sine of the angle, how could you determine the cosine of the angle?
Substitute the sine of the angle in for
in the Pythagorean Theorem
Solve for
and take the negative solution.
Describe the secant function.
Tangent and cotangent have a period of
What does this tell us about the output of these functions?
The outputs of tangent and cotangent will repeat every
units.
Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

What is the direction and net electric force on q_{1}= 5µC located at (0,4)r due to charges q_{2}=7mu located at (0,0)m and q_{3}=3\mu C located at (4,0)m?
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
Scratch that
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle
pratica A on solution of hydro chloric acid,B is a solution containing 0.5000 mole ofsodium chlorid per dm³,put A in the burret and titrate 20.00 or 25.00cm³ portion of B using melting orange as the indicator. record the deside of your burret tabulate the burret reading and calculate the average volume of acid used?
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you.
Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.
