Why you only use cosine for scalar product?
That is how the scalar product is defined. Also, the projection of one vector onto another at an angle to it is directly proportional to the cosine of that angle.
What is the definition of a tangent function?
Tangent (theta) is defined as sine (theta) divided by cosine (theta). In a right triangle, it is also defined as opposite (Y) divided by adjacent (X).
How is tan equal to undefined?
Tan of pi/2 + k*pi radians, for integer k, is not defined since tan = sin/cos and the cosine of these angles is 0. Since divsiion by 0 is not defined, the tan ratio is not defined.
What is the cosines inverse of 2?
The range of cosine is [-1, 1] which is, therefore, the domain of cos-1. As a result, cos-1(2) is not defined.
What is the cosine of 3.14?
what is the cosine of 3.14 ?
When is secant not defined?
The secant of an angle is the reciprocal of the cosine of the angle. So the secant is not defined whenever the cosine is zero That is, whenever the angle is a multiple of 180 degrees (or pi radians).
Is tangent sine divided by cosine?
Yes, except at odd multiples of pi/2 radians, where the cosine is zero so that the division is not defined.

What is cosine cubed?
It is cosine*cosine*cosine.
What is the definition of a tangent function?
Tangent (theta) is defined as sine (theta) divided by cosine (theta). In a right triangle, it is also defined as opposite (Y) divided by adjacent (X).

How is tangent defined?
The tangent of an angle theta is defined as sine(theta) divided by cosine(theta). Since the sine and cosine are Y and X on the unit circle, then tangent(theta) is Y divided by X. The tangent of a function at a point is the line going through that point which has slope equal to the first deriviative of the function at that point.
What is the range of the cosine function?
The cosine function, like all of the trigonometric functions, is periodic about the rotation around a circle. Since the cosine is defined as the adjacent/hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can clearly see that its value can never be greater than one or less than -1 since the hypotenuse is always longer than the adjacent side. It turns out that, indeed, the cosine's range is from -1 to 1, written [-1,1].
What is the cosines inverse of 2?
The range of cosine is [-1, 1] which is, therefore, the domain of cos-1. As a result, cos-1(2) is not defined.
What is the cosine of 3.14?
what is the cosine of 3.14 ?
What is cosine of 1?
Cosine of 1 degree is about 0.999848. Cosine of 1 radian is about 0.540302.
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.
