# How do you find sin cos and tan values manually?

###### Wiki User

This is so much work that it is not worthwhile to do in practice, although the formulae themselves are actually quite simple. The basic method is to use a so-called "infinite series". The angle must be expressed in radians. If the angle is in degrees, multiply it by (pi/180), to get the equivalent angle in radians. Then, use the formula:

sin(x) = x - x3/3! + x5/5! - x7/7! + x9/9!...

The individual terms become smaller and smaller, quite quickly, so the idea is to continue adding more terms until you see that the terms become so small that you can ignore them (depending on the desired degree of accuracy). An expression like 5!, read "five factorial" or "the factorial of five", means to multiply all natural numbers up to five: 5! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5.

Similarly,

cos(x) = 1 - x2/2! + x4/4! - x6/6! + x8/8!...

There is a more complicated formula for tan(x), or simply calculate as follows:

tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)

The formulae for sin(x) and cos(x) are derived from the Taylor expansion, explained in basic calculus books.

You take the integral of the sin function, -cos, and plug in the highest and lowest values. Then subtract the latter from the former. so if "min" is the low end of the series, and "max" is the high end of the series, the answer is -cos(max) - (-cos(min)), or cos(min) - cos(max).

[sin - cos + 1]/[sin + cos - 1] = [sin + 1]/cosiff [sin - cos + 1]*cos = [sin + 1]*[sin + cos - 1]iff sin*cos - cos^2 + cos = sin^2 + sin*cos - sin + sin + cos - 1iff -cos^2 = sin^2 - 11 = sin^2 + cos^2, which is true,

sin(3A) = sin(2A + A) = sin(2A)*cos(A) + cos(2A)*sin(A)= sin(A+A)*cos(A) + cos(A+A)*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos(A)*cos(A) + {cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)}*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos^2(A) + sin(a)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A) = 3*sin(A)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)

Like normal expansion of brackets, along with: cos(A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B 5(cos 20 + i sin 20) &times; 8(cos 15 + i sin 15) = 5&times;8 &times; (cos 20 + i sin 20)(cos 15 + i sin 15) = 40(cos 20 cos 15 + i sin 15 cos 20 + i cos 15 sin 20 + i&sup2; sin 20 sin 15) = 40(cos 20 cos 15 - sin 20 cos 15 + i(sin 15 cos 20 + cos 15 sin 20)) = 40(cos(20 +15) + i sin(15 + 20)) = 40(cos 35 + i sin 35)

(2 sin^2 x - 1)/(sin x - cos x) = sin x + cos x (sin^2 x + sin^2 x - 1)/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x [sin^2 x - (1 - sin^2 x)]/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x (sin^2 x - cos^2 x)/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x [(sin x - cos x)(sin x + cos x)]/(sin x - cos x) =? sin x + cos x sin x + cos x = sin x + cos x

cos*cot + sin = cos*cos/sin + sin = cos2/sin + sin = (cos2 + sin2)/sin = 1/sin = cosec

'csc' = 1/sin'tan' = sin/cosSo it must follow that(cos) (csc) / (tan) = (cos) (1/sin)/(sin/cos) = (cos) (1/sin) (cos/sin) = (cos/sin)2

If you know the measure of one angle, and the length of one side of a triangle, you can find the measures of the other sides and angles. From there, you can find the values of the other trig functions. cos (x) = sin (90-x) in degrees there are other identities such as cos^2+sin^2=1, so cos^2=1-sin^2

sin cubed + cos cubed (sin + cos)( sin squared - sin.cos + cos squared) (sin + cos)(1 + sin.cos)

You need to make use of the formulae for sin(A+B) and cos(A+B), and that cos is an even function: sin(A+B) = cos A sin B + sin A cos B cos(A+B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B cos even fn &rarr; cos(-x) = cos(x) To prove: (cos A + sin A)(cos 2A + sin 2A) = cos A + sin 3A The steps are to work with the left hand side, expand the brackets, collect [useful] terms together, apply A+B formula above (backwards) and apply even nature of cos function: (cos A + sin A)(cos 2A + sin 2A) = cos A cos 2A + cos A sin 2A + sin A cos 2A + sin A sin 2A = (cos A cos 2A + sin A sin 2A) + (cos A sin 2A + sin A cos 2A) = cos(A - 2A) + sin(A + 2A) = cos(-A) + sin 3A = cos A + sin 3A which is the right hand side as required.

To show that (cos tan = sin) ??? Remember that tan = (sin/cos) When you substitute it for tan, cos tan = cos (sin/cos) = sin QED

Yes. sin(A+B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B If A = B = x, this becomes: sin(x+x) = sin x cos x + cos x sin x &rarr; sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x

cot x = (cos x) / (sin x) cos (x - 180) = cos x cos 180 + sin x sin 180 = - cos x sin (x - 180) = sin x cos 180 - cos x sin 180 = - sin x cot (x - 180) = (cos (x - 180)) / (sin (x - 180)) = (- cos x) / (- sin x) = (cos x) / (sin x) = cot x

(tan x - sin x)/(tan x sin x) = (tan x sin x)/(tan x + sin x)[sin x/cos x) - sin x]/[(sin x/cos x)sin x] =? [(sin x/cos x)sin x]/[sin x/cos x) + sin x][(sin x - sin x cos x)/cos x]/(sin2 x/cos x) =? (sin2 x/cos x)/[(sin x + sin x cos x)/cos x)(sin x - sin x cos x)/sin2 x =? sin2 x/(sin x + sin x cos x)[sin x(1 - cos x)]/sin2 x =? sin2 x/[sin x(1 + cos x)(1 - cos x)/sin x =? sin x/(1 + cos x)(1 - cos x)/sin x =?

[(sin x)(1 - cos x)]/sin2 x(1 - cos x)/sin x = (1 - cos x)/sin x True

First, note that sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b)+sin(b)cos(a)[For a proof, see: www.mathsroom.co.uk/downloads/Compound_Angle_Proof.pptFor the case of b=a, we have:sin (a+a)=sin(a)cos(a)+sin(a)cos(a)sin (2a)=2*sin(a)cos(a)

No, they are functions associated with angle values. The function values are dependent on the input angle.

sin integral is -cos This is so because the derivative of cos x = -sin x

x = 45 degrees sin(x) = cos(x) = 1/2 sqrt(2)

sin x/(1+cos x) + cos x / sin x Multiply by sin x (1+cos x) =[(sin^2 x + cos x(1+cos x) ] / sin x (1+cos x) = [(sin^2 x + cos x + cos^2 x) ] / sin x (1+cos x) sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 = (1+cos x) / sin x (1+cos x) = 1/sin x

If tan 3a is equal to sin cos 45 plus sin 30, then the value of a = 0.4.

Best way: Use angle addition. Sin(Ax)Cos(Bx) = (1/2) [sin[sum x] + sin[dif x]], where sum = A+B and dif = A-B To show this, Sin(Ax)Cos(Bx) = (1/2) [sin[(A+B) x] + sin[(A-B) x]] = (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[-Bx]+sin[-Bx]cos[Ax])] Using the facts that cos[-k] = cos[k] and sin[-k] = -sin[k], we have: (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[-Bx]+sin[-Bx]cos[Ax])] (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[Bx]-sin[Bx]cos[Ax])] (1/2) 2sin[Ax]Cos[Bx] sin[Ax]Cos[Bx] So, Int[Sin(3y)Cos(5y)dy] = (1/2)Int[Sin(8y)-Sin(2y)dy] = (-1/16) Cos[8y] +1/4 Cos[2y] + C You would get the same result if you used integration by parts twice and played around with trig identities.

sin(x)-cos(x) = (1)sin(x)+(-1)cos(x) so the range is sqrt((1)^2+(-1)^2)=1 and the domain is R &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; The domain of sin x - cos x is [-infinity, +infinity]. The range of sin x - cos x is [-1.414, +1.414].

cos(30)cos(55)+sin(30)sin(55)=cos(30-55) = cos(-25)=cos(25) Note: cos(a)=cos(-a) for any angle 'a'. cos(a)cos(b)+sin(a)sin(b)=cos(a-b) for any 'a' and 'b'.
