No, not necessarily. Cosine theta is equal to 1 only when theta is equal to zero and multiples of 2 pi radians or multiples of 360 degrees. This is because cosine theta is hypotenuse over adjacent, and the ratio 1 only occurs at 0, 360, 720, etc. or 0, 2 pi, 4 pi, etc.

How do you solve theta if cos squared theta equals 1 and 0 is less than or equal to theta which is less than 2pi?

cos2(theta) = 1 so cos(theta) = ±1 cos(theta) = -1 => theta = pi cos(theta) = 1 => theta = 0


Prove that sin theta power 8 - cos theta power 8 equal to sin sq Theta -cos sq x 1-sin sq Theta cos sq theta?

The equation cannot be proved because of the scattered parts.


What is sec theta - 1 over sec theta?

Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta


How do you simplify cos theta times csc theta divided by tan theta?

'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

Cos theta squared


Why is 2 sin theta cos theta equal to sin 2theta?

because sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)


How do you solve 4 cosine squared theta equals 1?

4*cos2(theta) = 1 cos2(theta) = 1/4 cos(theta) = sqrt(1/4) = ±1/2 Now cos(theta) = 1/2 => theta = 60 + 360k or theta = 300 + 360k while Now cos(theta) = -1/2 => theta = 120 + 360k or theta = 240 + 360k where k is an integer.


How would you solve and show work for cos2 theta if cos squared theta equals 1 and theta is in the 4th quadrant?

cos2(theta) = 1 cos2(theta) + sin2(theta) = 1 so sin2(theta) = 0 cos(2*theta) = cos2(theta) - sin2(theta) = 1 - 0 = 1


What is sec theta - 1 over cos theta?

zero
