4- Algebraic Functions
An algebraic functions is produced by using algebraic operations ( addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and taking roots) starting from
polynomials.
Example
The following are examples of algebraic functions
Remark
Trigonometric Functions
For an acute angle the six trigonometric functions are defined as ratio of length sides of a right triangle as follows
in standard position
⚫ The following identities shows that sine is an odd function and cosine is an even functions
⚫ The sine and cosine functions are periodic functions with period
⚫ The graphs of sine and cosine are shown in the fowling figures

5. Since when + where is an integer, so the domain is
6- We need to have defined and . So, the domain is all real numbers
such that where is an integer.
Example
If and find the other five trigonometric ratios .
Solution
Since the angle terminates in the second quadrant, is negatrive and is
positive.
Using the identity, we have . So, . But
since terminates in the second quadrant. So,
Hence,
Example
If and , then find
Solution
Since , . So,
Therefore,
