  • The six trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent.
  • A trigonometric equation is an equation that involves trigonometric functions.
  • The Pythagorean Identity states that for any angle θ, sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1.
  • The graph of the sine function is a smooth, periodic curve that oscillates between -1 and 1.
  • The sine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The sine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The inverse trigonometric functions are used to find the angle measure given the ratio of sides in a right triangle.
  • Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles.
  • Trigonometric equations can have multiple solutions.
  • The solutions to trigonometric equations are typically given in a specific interval.
  • Trigonometric equations can be solved algebraically or graphically.
  • Common trigonometric equations include sin(x) = a, cos(x) = b, and tan(x) = c.
  • Trigonometric equations can also involve multiple trigonometric functions, such as sin(x) + cos(x) = d.
  • The sine function (sin) is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
  • The cosine function (cos) is defined as the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
  • The tangent function (tan) is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the adjacent side in a right triangle.
  • The cosecant function (csc) is the reciprocal of the sine function, i.e., csc(theta) = 1/sin(theta).
  • The secant function (sec) is the reciprocal of the cosine function, i.e., sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta).
  • The graph of the cosine function is also a smooth, periodic curve that oscillates between -1 and 1, but it is shifted horizontally by 90 degrees compared to the sine function.
  • The period of the sine and cosine functions is 360 degrees or 2π radians.
  • The amplitude of the sine and cosine functions is the distance from the midline to the maximum or minimum value, which is always 1.
  • The tangent function has vertical asymptotes at odd multiples of 90 degrees or π/2 radians.
  • The tangent function has a period of 180 degrees or π radians.
  • The cosine of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the length of the side adjacent to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.
  • The reciprocal of the sine of an angle is equal to the cosecant of the angle.
