What is cos 360 minus theta?

- cos theta


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


How do you simplify tan theta cos theta?

Remember that tan = sin/cos. So your expression is sin/cos times cos. That's sin(theta).

The identity for tan(theta) is sin(theta)/cos(theta).


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

In which quardant are the terminal arms of the angle lie when sin thita is less then zero and cos thita is greater then zero?

The fourth Across the quadrants sin theta and cos theta vary: sin theta: + + - - cos theta: + - - + So for sin theta < 0, it's the third or fourth quadrant And for cos theta > 0 , it's the first or fourth quadrant. So for sin theta < 0 and cos theta > 0 it's the fourth quadrant
