They are the projections, onto the x and y [Cartesian] axes, of a point whose polar coordinates are (R, theta).
It's a common Trig way to express a point when a radius is rotated around a given angle. For example, where exactly would the edge of a two foot gate lie if the gate opened 30 degrees? R is two feet. Two times cosine 30 is the x coordinate and two times sine 30 is the y coordinate.

What isTan theta?
Tan theta is a function of the number theta.
How do you simplify sin theta times csc theta divided by tan theta?
Since sin(theta) = 1/cosec(theta) the first two terms simply camcel out and you are left with 1 divided by tan(theta), which is cot(theta).
What are the values of theta of which secant theta is undefined?
Since secant theta is the same as 1 / cosine theta, the answer is any values for which cosine theta is zero, for example, pi/2.
If costheta -.444 with theta in quadrant 2 find sintheta?
Since theta is in the second quadrant, sin(theta) is positive. sin2(theta) = 1 - cos2(theta) = 0.803 So sin(theta) = +sqrt(0.803) = 0.896.
What does negative sine squared plus cosine squared equal?
To determine what negative sine squared plus cosine squared is equal to, start with the primary trigonometric identity, which is based on the pythagorean theorem...sin2(theta) + cos2(theta) = 1... and then solve for the question...cos2(theta) = 1 - sin2(theta)2 cos2(theta) = 1 - sin2(theta) + cos2(theta)2 cos2(theta) - 1 = - sin2(theta) + cos2(theta)
Why is is not possible to find the polar representation of the complex number 0?
You can very well represent it as a polar number. But the angle is ambiguous; or rather, any angle will work.
How do solve sin 2 theta - square root of 3 theta- equals 0?
The only real solution is theta = 0For theta < 0 square root of 3 theta is not defined.For theta > 0, sin theta increases slower than 3*theta and so the sum is always negative.The only real solution is theta = 0For theta < 0 square root of 3 theta is not defined.For theta > 0, sin theta increases slower than 3*theta and so the sum is always negative.The only real solution is theta = 0For theta < 0 square root of 3 theta is not defined.For theta > 0, sin theta increases slower than 3*theta and so the sum is always negative.The only real solution is theta = 0For theta < 0 square root of 3 theta is not defined.For theta > 0, sin theta increases slower than 3*theta and so the sum is always negative.
If tansqtheta plus 5tantheta0 find the value of tantheta plus cottheta?
tan2(theta) + 5*tan(theta) = 0 => tan(theta)*[tan(theta) + 5] = 0=> tan(theta) = 0 or tan(theta) = -5If tan(theta) = 0 then tan(theta) + cot(theta) is not defined.If tan(theta) = -5 then tan(theta) + cot(theta) = -5 - 1/5 = -5.2
How would you solve and show work for cos2 theta if cos squared theta equals 1 and theta is in the 4th quadrant?
cos2(theta) = 1 cos2(theta) + sin2(theta) = 1 so sin2(theta) = 0 cos(2*theta) = cos2(theta) - sin2(theta) = 1 - 0 = 1
How do you solve theta if cos squared theta equals 1 and 0 is less than or equal to theta which is less than 2pi?
cos2(theta) = 1 so cos(theta) = ±1 cos(theta) = -1 => theta = pi cos(theta) = 1 => theta = 0
What are the Pythagorean identities?
There are three of them. Granted this means that there are different variations of all three. I'll show you the variations as well. This is coming straight from my Math 1060 (Trigonometry) notebook. Sorry there is no key to represent the angle; Theta.1. Sin2 (of Theta) + Cos2 (of Theta)= 1Variations: Sin2 (of Theta) = 1- Cos2 (of Theta)AND: Cos2 (of Theta) = 1-Sin2 (of Theta)2. Tan2 (of Theta) + 1 = sec2 (of Theta)Variations: Tan2 (of Theta) = Sec2 (of Theta) -13. 1 + Cot2 (of Theta) = Csc2 (of Theta)Variations: Cot2 (of Theta) = Csc2 (of Theta) -1
If tan Theta equals 2 with Theta in Quadrant 3 find cot Theta?
Cotan(theta) is the reciprocal of the tan(theta). So, cot(theta) = 1/2.
What isTan theta?
Tan theta is a function of the number theta.
What is cos theta multiplied by csc theta?
It is cotangent(theta).
What is the equivalent of sine theta over secant theta?
For such simplifications, it is usually convenient to convert any trigonometric function that is not sine or cosine, into sine or cosine. In this case, you have: sin theta / sec theta = sin theta / (1/cos theta) = sin theta cos theta.
What is cosine 2 theta when sine theta equals .28?
If sine theta is 0.28, then theta is 16.26 degrees. Cosine 2 theta, then, is 0.8432
When is tan theta theta?
tan (theta x theta) : must square the value of the angle, theta, before applying the trig function, tangent.
