It isn't clear what you want to solve for. To solve trigonometric equations, it often helps to convert other angular functions (tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant) into the equivalent of sines and cosines. However, the details of course depend on the specific case.
What else can I help you with?
Sine divided by cosine?
Trig identity... sin/cos = tangent
What is the formula for sine function?
In a right triangle, its Opposite/Hypotenuse I always use: Soh (sin, opposite/hypotenuse) Cah (cosine, adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa (tangent, opposite/adjacent) Hope this helped! :)
What is an inverse cosine?
The inverse of the cosine is the secant.
How do you solve for x and y in an angle?
If X and Y are sides of a right triangle, R is the hypoteneuse, and theta is the angle at the X-R vertex, then sin(theta) is Y / R and cosine(theta) is X / R. It follows, then, that X is R cosine(theta) and Y is R sin(theta)
How can you prove that 1-2 cosine squared over sine times cosine is equal to tangent minus cotangent?
sin2 + cos2 = 1 So, (1 - 2*cos2)/(sin*cos) = (sin2 + cos2 - 2*cos2)/(sin*cos) = (sin2 - cos2)/(sin*cos) = sin2/(sin*cos) - cos2/(sin*cos) = sin/cos - cos-sin = tan - cot
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.
How do you solve for a triangle with two angles but no lengths?
you can use the sine, cosine, tangent formula.
How do you find sine cosine and tangent of 210 degrees?
Sine = -0.5 Cosine = -0.866 Tangent = 0.577
What is the reciprocal of a tangent?
Reciprocal of tangent is '1 /tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine '
Do you need a right traingle to use sine cosine and tangent?
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
How do you solve sohcahtoa?
It means for any right angle triangle:- sine = opposte/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse tangent = opposite/adjacent
What is the relationship between the tan and cot?
Cotangent is 1 / tangent. Since tangent is sine / cosine, cotangent is cosine / sine.
How do you find a cotangent?
1/(tangent of angle)
The laws of sine cosine and tangent are used where?
in trigonometry
Does tangent of x equal cosine divided by sine?
No, it does not.
What jobs use sine cosine and tangent?
Trigonometry
If the tangent of an angle is 2 what is the cosine?
The cosine is ±1/sqrt(5) = ±0.4472 (approx).
