What is the value of tan 45°?
Answer: 1
At 45°, sin 45° = cos 45° = 1/√2, so tan 45° = sin/cos = 1.
The amplitude of y = 3sin(x) is:
Answer: 3
The amplitude of y = A sin(x) is |A|; here A = 3, so the amplitude is 3.
If cos θ = −√3/2 and 180° < θ < 270°, what is θ?
Answer: 210°
cos 30° = √3/2, so the reference angle is 30°; in Quadrant III, θ = 180° + 30° = 210°.
Which identity is correct?
Answer: 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ
The identity 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ is derived from dividing sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 by sin²θ.
On the unit circle, the point (0, −1) corresponds to which angle?
Answer: 270°
The point (0, −1) on the unit circle corresponds to 270° (or 3π/2 radians).
What is the general solution of sin θ = 0?
Answer: θ = n × 180°, n ∈ ℤ
sin θ = 0 at every multiple of 180° (i.e., 0°, 180°, 360°, …), so θ = n × 180°.
In triangle PQR, PQ = 7 cm, QR = 24 cm, and angle Q = 90°. Find tan P.
Answer: 24/7
tan P = opposite/adjacent = QR/PQ = 24/7.
