• It determines the length of a hypotenuse.

• It is used to solve quadratic equations.

• It is used to find the angle between two lines.

What is the 't results' technique used for?

• Expressing sine and cosine in terms of a single variable.

• Solving quadratic equations.

• Finding the roots of a polynomial.

• Calculating the area of a circle.

Which identity is used to express sine of a compound angle?

• sin(a + b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b

• sin(a + b) = sin a sin b - cos a cos b

• sin(a + b) = cos a cos b - sin a sin b
