What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is greek for <em>triangle measurement</em>.

Three of the most basic ideas in trigonometry are the <em>sine</em>, <em>cosine</em>, and <em>tangent ratios</em>. The sine, cosine, and tangent ratios can be defined as follows.

I have attached right triangle ABC in the image attached.

In right triangle ABC, the sine of angle A is equal to the ratio of the length of the side opposite angle A to the length of the hypotenuse. So in right triangle ABC, the sine of angle A equals y over z. The abbreviation we use for sine is <u>sin</u>.

Next, the cosine of angle A is equal to the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to angle A to the length of the hypotenuse. So in right triangle ABC, the cosine of angle A equals x over z. The abbreviation we use for cosine is <u>cos</u>.

Finally, the tangent of angle A is equal to the ratio of the length of the side opposite angle A to the length of the side adjacent to angle A. So in right triangle ABC, the tangent of angle A equals y over x. The abbreviation we use for tangent is <u>tan</u>.

An easy way to remember the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios is to use the word SOH-CAH-TOA.

<em>Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, and tangent is opposite over adjacent.</em>

Trigonometry is the study of traingles. It is the geometry of traingles only, where you learn about sines, cosines, and tangents. It comes in high school. Hope this helps :)

St<br>Question 1<br>Calculate the derivative of y = f(x) = 3 x(4x + 7)<br>Your answer:<br><br>​
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dx} = 24 x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given that the function

      y = f(x) = 3 x ( 4 x + 7)

     y  = 3 x ( 4 x + 7)  

    y = 12 x² + 21 x ..(i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x' , we get

\frac{dy}{dx} = 12 (2x) +21 (1)

\frac{dy}{dx} = 24 x + 21
