What is the exact value of tan(135°)?
Answer: -1
tan(135°) = tan(180° - 45°) = -tan(45°) = -1.
If sec(θ) = 2, what is cos(θ)?
Answer: 1/2
sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ), so cos(θ) = 1/sec(θ) = 1/2.
Convert 5π/6 radians to degrees.
Answer: 150°
5π/6 × (180°/π) = 5 × 30° = 150°.
Which identity is equivalent to sin²(θ) + cos²(θ)?
Answer: 1
The Pythagorean identity states sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1 for all θ.
What is the period of y = sin(3x)?
Answer: 2π/3
The period of y = sin(bx) is 2π/b = 2π/3.
In a right triangle, if the opposite side is 5 and the hypotenuse is 13, what is sin(θ)?
Answer: 5/13
sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/13.
What is the value of cot(90°)?
Answer: 0
cot(90°) = cos(90°)/sin(90°) = 0/1 = 0.
