sin(x)
cos(x)
sin(x) is a mathematical function that calculates the value of the sine of an angle x. The sine function relates the measurements of the sides of right triangles to the angles that are opposite them. The value of sin(x) ranges between -1 and 1, inclusive, and can be found using a calculator or by using the following formula:
sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
Here, the opposite side is the length of the side opposite to the angle x, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.
For example, if x is the angle of a right triangle and its opposite side measures 3 and the hypotenuse measures 5, then sin(x) would be 3/5 or 0.6.
The sine function is periodic, meaning that its values repeat at regular intervals. The period of the sine function is 360 degrees (or 2π radians). This means that the value of sin(x) at x+360 degrees or x+2π radians is the same as sin(x). Additionally, the sine function is an odd function, meaning that sin(-x) = -sin(x).
