Yeah, Right..
 What is sine function?

The sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the

opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse. In our case

Properties
The sine function has a number of properties that result from it
being periodic and odd. Most of these should not be memorized by the
reader; yet, the reader should be able to instantly derive them from an
understanding of the function's characteristics.

The sine function is periodic with a period of 2 π , which implies that

sin(θ ) = sin(θ + 2π )
or more generally,
sin(θ ) = sin(θ + 2π k), k ∈ integers

The function is odd; therefore,

sin(-θ ) = -sin(θ )

Formula:

sin(x + y) = sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y)

It is then easily derived that
sin(x - y) = sin(x)cos(y) - cos(x)sin(y)
Or more generally,
sin(x ± y) = sin(x)cos(y) ± cos(x)sin(y)

From the above we can easily derive that

sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)

By observing the graphs of sine and cosine, we can express the sine function
in terms of cosine:
 sin(x) = cos(x - π /2)

The pythagorean identity gives an alternate expression for sine in terms of

cosine

sin2(x) = 1 - cos2(x)

The Law of Sines relates various sides and angles of an arbitrary (not
necessarily right) triangle:

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c.

where A, B, and C are the angles opposite sides a, b, and c respectively.

What is Cosine Function?

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the length

of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse. In
our case

Properties

The cosine function has a number of properties that result from it

being periodic and even. Most of these should not be memorized by the
reader; yet, the reader should be able to instantly derive them from an
understanding of the function's characteristics.
The cosine function is periodic with a period of 2p, which implies that

cos(q) = cos(q + 2p)

or more generally,
cos(q) = cos(q + 2pk), k � integers

The function is even; therefore,

cos(-q) = cos(q)

Formula:

cos(x + y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y)

It is then easily derived that
cos(x - y) = cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y)
Or more generally,
cos(x � y) = cos(x)cos(y) � sin(x)sin(y)

From the above we can easily derive that

cos(2x) = cos2(x) - sin2(x)

(The cos2(x) is alternate notation for (cos(x))2.)

By observing the graphs of sine and cosine, we can express the cosine
function in terms of sine:

cos(x) = sin(x - p/2)

The pythagorean identity gives an alternate expression for cosine in terms of

sine

cos2(x) = 1 - sin2(x)

The Law of Cosines relates all three sides and one of the angles of an
arbitrary (not necessarily right) triangle:

c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C).
Where A, B, and C are the angles opposite sides a, b, and c respectively. It can
be thought of as a generalized form of the Pythagorean Theorem.
 What is Tangent Function?

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of

the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side (called so
because it can be represented as a line segment tangent to the
circle). In our case

Properties

and its properties such as graph, period, phase shift and

asymptotes are explored interactively by changing the parameters a, b, c and
d using an applet. See figure below for main panel of the applet showing the
graph of tangent function in blue and the vertical asymptotes in red.
