Trigonometric Concepts and Identities

This video tutorial introduces trigonometry on the Cartesian plane, explaining how to determine the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. It highlights the importance of understanding positive and negative values of x and y. The video also proves that the tangent of an angle is the ratio of sine to cosine and explains the Pythagorean identity. The tutorial concludes with a preview of the next video, which will cover when trigonometric functions become negative.

What is the basic trigonometric ratio for sine using SOHCAHTOA?

• Adjacent over Opposite

• Opposite over Hypotenuse

• Adjacent over Hypotenuse

• Hypotenuse over Opposite

On the Cartesian plane, what does the sine of theta represent?

• y over x

• x over r

• r over y

• y over r

Which of the following is always positive on the Cartesian plane?

• r

• y

• Both x and y

• x

How can the tan of theta be expressed in terms of sine and cosine?

• cos(theta) / sin(theta)

• cos(theta) * sin(theta)

• sin(theta) / cos(theta)

• sin(theta) * cos(theta)

What is the Pythagorean identity in trigonometry?

• sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta) = 1

• sin(theta) * cos(theta) = 1

• tan^2(theta) + 1 = sec^2(theta)

• 1 + cot^2(theta) = csc^2(theta)

What is the relationship between tan, sine, and cosine?

• tan(theta) = sin(theta) * cos(theta)

• tan(theta) = cos(theta) / sin(theta)

• tan(theta) = sin(theta) / cos(theta)

• tan(theta) = 1 / (sin(theta) * cos(theta))

Which identity is known as the Pythagorean identity?

• sin(theta) * cos(theta) = 1

• 1 + cot^2(theta) = csc^2(theta)

• sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta) = 1

• tan^2(theta) + 1 = sec^2(theta)
