Best Answer

The sine and the cosine of an angle are both

(the leg of a right triangle) divided by (the hypotenuse of the same triangle).

The leg can't be longer than the hypotenuse, so this fraction can't be more than ' 1 '.

How do you know when to use sine over cosine or cosine over sine?

You can choose either or but tangent which is sin/cos seems to be the most common way.

What are the Differentiate the sine wave and cosine wave?

The differential of the sine function is the cosine function while the differential of the cosine function is the negative of the sine function.


How does the tangent function relate to sine and cosine?

Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.


What does sin mean in trig?

its short for sine. theres sine, cosine, and tangent. sine is opposite over adjacent for the sides of a triangle (or angles)


Why are sine and cosine functions used to describe periodic?

because sine & cosine functions are periodic.

What is cot in trigonomentry?

Cot in trigonometry is the cotangent, which is cosine over sine, or x over y.


What are sine and cosine functions?

Sine allows us to find out what a third side or an angle is using the equation sin(x) = opposite over hypotenuse (x being the angle). Cosine has the same function but instead uses the equation cosine(x)= opposite over adjacent


What is the derivation of the wave function?

A simple wave function can be expressed as a trigonometric function of either sine or cosine. lamba = A sine(a+bt) or lamba = A cosine(a+bt) where lamba = the y value of the wave A= magnitude of the wave a= phase angle b= frequency. the derivative of sine is cosine and the derivative of cosine is -sine so the derivative of a sine wave function would be y'=Ab cosine(a+bt) """"""""""""""""""" cosine wave function would be y' =-Ab sine(a+bt)
