Cosine, sine, and tangent are fundamental trigonometric functions that relate the angles of a right triangle to the ratios of its sides. Specifically, the cosine (cos) of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, the sine (sin) is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse, and the tangent (tan) is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. These functions are widely used in mathematics, physics, engineering, and various fields involving angles and periodic phenomena.

What do sin and cos mean in math?
sin stands for sine cos stands for cosine and tan stands for tangent
What is tangent of 0?
Zero. Tangent = sine/cosine. sin(0) = 0 and cos(0) = 1, so 0/1 = 0.
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 does sin cos and tan?
Not sure what the question means. These are abbreviations for the three primary trigonometric functions of angles: sine, cosine and tangent.
What is the cosecant reciprocal?
Cosecant(Csc) = 1 / Sin . Hence its recip[rocal is 'Sin'(Sine). Similarly Secant(Sec) = 1/ Cos . Hence its reciprocal is 'Cos'(Cosine) Cotangent(Cot) = 1 /Tan . Hence its reciprocal is 'Tan'(Tangent).
What is cos on a calculator mean?
Cos is short for Cosine ( Complementary Sine) Similrly Sin is short for Sine Tan is short for Tangent.

What is the Sine reciprocal?
Sine Its reciprocal is Cosecant Algebraically Sin ; Reciprocal is '1/ Sin' known as 'Cosecant(Csc)'. Similarly Cos(Cosine) ; 1/ Cos (Secant(Sec)) Tan(Tangent) ; 1/ Tan ( Cotangent(Cot)).

What are the sum and difference identities for the sine cosine and tangent functions?
Sine sum identity: sin (x + y) = (sin x)(cos y) + (cos x)(sin y)Sine difference identity: sin (x - y) = (sin x)(cos y) - (cos x)(sin y)Cosine sum identity: cos (x + y) = (cos x)(cos y) - (sin x)(sin y)Cosine difference identity: cos (x - y) = (cos x)(cos y) + (sin x)(sin y)Tangent sum identity: tan (x + y) = [(tan x) + (tan y)]/[1 - (tan x)(tan y)]Tangent difference identity: tan (x - y) = [(tan x) - (tan y)]/[1 + (tan x)(tan y)]
Why is the tangent positive on quadrant III?
The tangent function is equal to the sine divided by the cosine. In quadrant III, both sin and cos are negative - and a negative divided by another negative is positive. Thus it follows that the tangent is positive in QIII.
What is the cosecant reciprocal?
Cosecant(Csc) = 1 / Sin . Hence its recip[rocal is 'Sin'(Sine). Similarly Secant(Sec) = 1/ Cos . Hence its reciprocal is 'Cos'(Cosine) Cotangent(Cot) = 1 /Tan . Hence its reciprocal is 'Tan'(Tangent).
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.
