How do you calculate sec in trigonometry?

sec(x)=1/cos(x) - (hint: look at the third letter: sec->(1/)cos,

cosec->(1/)sin, cot->(1/)tan)

Can you use the equation given below to find the second derivative of pi divided by 6 if fx equals cscx?

pi divided by 6 is a constant and so its first derivative is 0. And since that is also a constant, the second derivative is 0. It is not clear what f(x) = csc(x) has to do with that!

Where trigonometric used in real life?

If you are in school and are studying trig then you are using trig in real life.

X4-x3 plus X2 -X plus 1?

It is a polynomial of the fourth degree in X.

In geometry what is the definition of a face?

A lot of people think that the face in geometry is the side of a three dimensional figure, but it can really mean the specific side of a 2-d figure as well. Face just means the front of a figure for the side you're looking at. You can have the face of a circle, for example. It just means the side of the circle you're referring to.

What is the meaning of tangent theta?

It is a trigonometric function whose argument is the number theta.

What is the trigonometric values of 82 degrees and 12 minutes?

It is 82 degrees and 12 minutes, as in the question = 82.2 deg = 1.4347 radians.

State 3 conditions for sine wave oscillation to be generated?

  • there is a variable component of motion in the direction at right angles to the direction of propagation of the wave.
  • acceleration is directly proportional to displacement from the direction of propagation of the wave, and
  • the direction of acceleration is opposite to that of the displacement.

How did Greek astronomers discover trigonometry?

According to Math experts, Hipparchus, Menelaus, and Ptolemy are responsible for developing Greek trigonometry for the purposes of studying differences in shapes of the planets, sun and moon. By observing the shapes of each, they were able to determine the ratios and areas of each one.

How do you find the additive inverse of a quadratic equation?

Change all the signs.

Suppose you have the quadratic equation: y = ax2 + bx + c

Its additive inverse is -ax2 - bx - c.

What is initial tangent?

The tangent (of a curve) is a vector that is tangent (perpendicular to the normal), i.e. the instantaneous velocity of the curve at a specific point. As such, the initial tangent is the initial velocity of the curve at the point where t=0.

Stated in other terms, the tangent is the slope of the line at a point. This is expressed (in two dimensions, but applicable to higher dimensions), as the line that has x and y coordinates equal to the point of tangency, and slope equal to the limit of delta y over delta x as delta x (and delta y) approaches zero.

Is tangent in geometry and tangent in trigonometry same?

Yes a tangent is a straight line thattouches a curve at only one point

But there is a tangent ratio used in trigonometry

Terms related to cartesian coordinate plane?

It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who introduced the Cartesian plane and some of the terms are:-

Horizontal x axis

Vertical y axis

Both axes have a number line and are perpendicular to each other at (0, 0)

The origin is at the coordinates of (0, 0)

The equations of straight line are plotted on it.

The equation of a straight line is y = mx+c whereas m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept

How can you sale your car that was signed over to you but is not in my name?

If it is signed over to me then your name has got nothing to do with it. I can do whatever I like with the car.

What do civil engineers use trigonometry for?

civil engineers have special heavy duty boots called engineers boots.

these boots are quite expensive

so they use trigonometry to save money

they can stand on one side of a river set up 2 points a known distance apart

and just sight across the river thru a protractor with a telescope to the other side at any target they see

this way they dont need to carry a tape across the river to measure the distance

their boots would get wet and muddy

when they do this for a few years they save enough money to hire a rodman

to cross the river and place high visibility targets for them so they make less mistakes and make even more money

What is the formula to calculate sector?

A sector is a part of a circle which looks the same shape as a piece of a circular pie. You probably remember that Pi charts look like a circular cake cut into portions. We can calculate the area of the sector of a circle if we know the angle between the two straight sides and the radius of the circle. Now the area of a complete circle is Pi x square of radius, If the radius is 12 cm then the circle's area will be Pi x square of 12 square centimetres. But that is for the full circle. If the sector's angle is 60 degrees, that would mean that the area of the sector would be 60 degrees/360 degrees which equals 1/6; so finally, the area of the sector is (Pi x 12 squared) divided by 6 = 75.398 sq cm )correct to 4 decimal places).
