Trigonometric, Calculus and Algebra
1. Sine Function:
\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
2. Cosine Function:
\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
3. Tangent Function:
\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}
• how to solve it?
To solve trigonometric problems, you typically follow these steps:
1. Identify the Given Information: Determine the known values such as sides or
angles of the triangle.
2. Choose the Correct Trigonometric Ratio: Depending on the information given,
decide whether to use the sine, cosine, or tangent function.
3. Apply the Trigonometric Ratio: Substitute the known values into the appropriate
trigonometric formula to solve for the unknown side or angle.
4. Simplify and Calculate: Simplify the expression and calculate the missing side
or angle.
5. Check Your Solution: Ensure that your solution is reasonable and fits within the
context of the problem.
Problem:
In a right triangle, if the angle \theta is 30 degrees and the length of the
opposite side is 4 units, find the length of the hypotenuse.
Solution:
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 8 units in this right triangle given the
angle \theta = 30^\circ and the length of the opposite side being 4 units.
•can you give a problem in cosine function and solve it step by step
Certainly! Here's an example problem involving the cosine function:
Problem:
In a right triangle, if the angle \theta is 45 degrees and the length of the
adjacent side is 6 units, find the length of the hypotenuse.
Solution:
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 6\sqrt{2} units in this right triangle
with the angle \theta = 45^\circ and the length of the adjacent side being 6 units.
•can you give a problem in tangent function and solve it step by step
Certainly! Here's a problem involving the tangent function:
Problem:
In a right triangle, if the angle \theta is 60 degrees and the length of the
adjacent side is 6 units, find the length of the opposite side.
Solution:
Therefore, the length of the opposite side in this right triangle with the angle \
theta = 60^\circ and the adjacent side being 6 units is 6\sqrt{3} units.
