question is ...
express this in terms of ratios of acute angles
cos(165)

i know this is simple one...but i just didnt understand how to find it...

u know the rule cosx =-cos(180-x)
so cos165=-cos(180-65)=-cos15

oh really? is there such a rules like this? can u please give more rule? like about sin?

It is cosx=-cos(180-x)
Sinx=Sin(180-x)

sinx=sin(180-x)
cosx=-cos(180-x)
tanx=-tan(180-x)
sin(90-x)=cosx
cos(90-x)=sinx
tan(90-x)=1/tanx
sin(-x)=-sinx
cos(-x)=cosx
tan(-x)=-tanx

and also
sin(x+360)=sinx
cos(x+360)=cosx
tan(x+180)=tanx
there are many more but ive forgotten them
and ur welcome

hey what about
sin(180+x), cos(180+x), tan(180+x)??

Will post when i get home. There are some useful formulae.

sin(180+x), cos(180+x), tan(180+x)??

oh sory..........tan(180+x)=tanx
and sin(180+x)=-sinx
and cos(180+x)=-cosx

astarmathsandphysics · « **Reply #10 on:** November 21, 2009, 05:24:19 pm »

Ok but Sin(180+x)=-Sinx
