Is the cosine function an odd function?

No. Cosine, along with sec, is an even function. The odd functions are sin, tan, csc, and cot. The reason for this is because is you take the opposite of the y-value for the cosine function, the overall value of the function is not affected.Take, for example, cos(60 degrees), which equals POSITIVE 1/2.If you flip it over the x-axis, making the y's negative, it becomes cos(-60 degrees), or cos(300 degrees). This equals POSITIVE 1/2.Now let's look at an odd function. For example, sin(30 degrees) equals POSITIVE 1/2. Now take the opposite of this.sin(-30 degrees), or sin(330 degrees), equals NEGATIVE 1/2. This is because it is found in the fourth quadrant, where the y's are negative. Sine of theta, by definition, is y divided by r. If y is negative, sine is negative.


If you were to travel through an angle of 8 degrees across the surface of the earth through how many kilometers would you have traveled?

It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km. At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km. Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.


To convert 25 hours to minute you would use the ratio 1 hour over 60 minutes is that true or false?

That is true. 1/60 is the ratio. To convert 25 hours to minutes, you would multiply 25 by 60, which equals 1500 minutes.


1 over sin x equals what?

1/sin x = csc x


Explain why tan270 degrees is undefined?

Just as at 90 degrees, it goes to infinity. That is because tangent of angle is opposite side over adjacent side. The oppsoite side gets bigger and bigger after 45 dgerees ( and in your case then after 225 degrees) until it grows beyond all bounds at 270 degrees
