Find the exact value of the expression sinarctan-12?

Assume the angle u takes place in Quadrant IV.

Let u = arctan(-12). Then, tan(u) = -12.

By the Pythagorean identity, we obtain:

sec(u) = √(1 + tan²(u))

= √(1 + (-12)²)

= √145

Since secant is the inverse of cosine, we have:

cos(u) = 1/√145

Therefore:

sin(u) = -√(1 - cos²(u))

= -√(1 - 1/145)

= -12/√145

Otherwise, if the angle takes place in Quadrant II, then sin(u) = 12/√145

How do trigonometry used in our daily life?

That depends on your profession. If you are a math teacher, then you might use a lot of Trig. If you are an engineer, working with forces on any object from different directions, then you would use trig. Electrical engineers use trig. Surveyors use trig.

How does trigonometry help in building?

Surveying the land. Laying out the position of the foundation of the building.

Express sin 2x as a function of sin x?

The double angle formula states that sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x), and because sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, sin(2x) = 2sin(x)*SQRT(1-sin2(x)). However, that will only give you the correct result when cos(x) is positive. (because SQRT only returns the positive square root)

How do you figure out the Trigonometry theorem?

If, by trigonometry theorem you mean the "fundamental theorem of trigonometry," sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, it is actually the Pythagorean Theorem. if you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of one, sin(x) is one leg, and cos(x) is the other. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 and therefore sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1.

Simplify Secant squared of x minus one?

There is a trigonometric identity that states that sec2(x) - tan2(x) = 1, for every x. By rearranging this formula we can find that sec2(x) - 1 = tan2(x).

How many radians does the minute hand of a clock rotate in 1.75 hours?

Since there are 2 Pi radians in one complete turn, then the minute hand turns 1.75 * 2 Pi radians in 1.75 hours.

What is a quadrantal angle?

A Quadrantal angle is an angle that is not in Quadrant I. Consider angle 120. You want to find cos(120) . 120 lies in quadrant II. Also, 120=180-60. So, it is enough to find cos(60) and put the proper sign. cos(60)=1/2. Cosine is negative in quadrant II, Therefore, cos(120) = -1/2.

Can sine theta equals tan theta equals theta be true for small angles?

If sin θ = tan θ, that means cos θ is 1 (since tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ))

(Usually in and equation a/b=a, b doesn't have to be 1 when a is 0, but cos θ = 1 if and only if sin θ = 0)

The angles that satisfy cos θ = 1 is 2n(pi) (or 360n in degrees)

When n is an integer.

But if sin θ = tan θ = θ, the only answer is θ = 0.

Because sin 0 is 0 and cos 0 is 1 and tan 0 is 0

The only answer would be when θ = 0.

Use trigonometric identities to write each expression in terms of a single trigonometric function or a constant. simplify cos t sin t?

Thanks to the pre-existing addition and subtraction theorums, we can establish the identity:
sin(a+b) = sin(a)cos(b)+sin(a)cos(b)

Then, solving this, we get
sin(a+b) = 2(sin(a)cos(b))
sin(a)cos(b) = sin(a+b)/2

a=b, so
sin(a)cos(a) = sin(a+a)/2
sin(a)cos(a) = sin(2a)/2
Therefore, the answer is sin(2a)/2.

Define the function of range and domain?

Let the function be f(x) = 1/(x-1)

The domain is all allowable values for which the function can be defined.

Here, except 1, any number would give the function a meaningful value. If x=1, the denominator becomes 0 and the function becomes undefined. Therefore, the domain is all real numbers except 1.

The range is all values assumed by the function.

Here, the range is negative infinity to plus infinity (that is , all real numbers).

Example of different kids of angles?

Acute angles (less than 90 degrees)

Obtuse angles (greater than 90 degrees)

Right angles ( equal to 90 degrees)

Find the value in the equation of T plus 5 plus 3T equal 1?

T + 5 + 3T = 1

Simplify the terms, T and 3T (think 1 apple plus 3 apples)

4T + 5 = 1

Subtract 5 from both sides.

4T = -4

then divide both sides by 4 to get T by itself.

T = -4/4

T = -1

To check, substitute T = -1 wherever you see T in your original equation.

T + 5 + 3T = 1

(-1) + 5 + 3(-1) = 1

4 - 3 = 1

1 = 1 (check)

Where did the word trigonometry originate from?

From Greek.Trigon comes from 3-sided figure, now known as a triangle.

Metry comes from measurement.

One number is equal to two times a second number two times the first number plus two times the second number is twenty if you let x stand for the first number and y for the second what are the two num?

X = 1st number

Y = 2nd number

Facts given:

X = 2Y (One number is equal to 2 times the second number)

2X + 2Y = 20 (2 times the 1st number, plus 2 times the 2nd number is 20)

Now we can easily find X and Y.

We'll use a method called substitution to help us.

Our first equation: X = 2Y is already solved for X. (it equals 2Y's!)

So let's substitute x = 2y into the 2nd equation and find out what y is. Remember to use parenthesis!

2x + 2y = 20

2(2y) + 2y = 20

4y + 2y = 20

6y = 20

y = 20/6

y = 10/3

We found a number for Y, even though it is a fraction.

Let's substitute it back into our 1st equation to figure out what x is.

x = 2y

x = 2(10/3)

x = 20/3

In order to check and see if x = 20/3 and y = 10/3, substitute both x and y into either equation. You pick!

2x + 2y = 20

2(20/3) + 2(10/3) = 20

40/3 + 20/3 = 20

60/3 = 20

20 = 20 (check)

How do you simplify csc theta cot theta?

There are 6 basic trig functions.

sin(x) = 1/csc(x)

cos(x) = 1/sec(x)

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) or 1/cot(x)

csc(x) = 1/sin(x)

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x) or 1/tan(x)

---- In your problem csc(x)*cot(x) we can simplify csc(x).

csc(x) = 1/sin(x)

Similarly, cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x).

csc(x)*cot(x) = (1/sin[x])*(cos[x]/sin[x])

= cos(x)/sin2(x) = cos(x) * 1/sin2(x)

Either of the above answers should work.

In general, try converting your trig functions into sine and cosine to make things simpler.

How do you find the degree of a not-right angled triangle with only two side lengths and the area of that triangle?

the angle between the two sides is used in the formula A = 1/2 a*b*sin(C) where A is area, a and b are side lengths, and C is the angle between sides. Simply use algebra to rearrange the formula to solve for C.
