Trigonometric Functions: Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cosecant, Secant, and Cotangent
Oh man, what is all this sine and cosine business? What do these things even mean?! And Greek letters now? I don't know Greek! OK friend, just relax. Understanding the trig functions is as easy as pi radians. We just make some triangles and set up a few definitions. I promise it's no sweat, just watch this!

Yikes, it looks like I accidentally used numbers for the side lengths in the checking comprehension that don't abide by the Pythagorean Theorem! How embarrassing. Luckily it doesn't really change what you're doing, but my apologies for this ridiculous error anyway.

I am going down a rabbit hole; I started from cellular membrane potentials to electricity to electron fields to the electrodynamics to the quantum mechanical definition of energy to chemical bond energy to atomic orbitals to Schrodinger's equation to trigonometry. The moment I heard "SOHCAHTOA" brought back a flash of highschool physics classes. I wish i paid attention in highschool.

Haha same I'm going back over high school math since at least in the US the foundation we build on is so poor. I finished Calc 2 and was about to go into linear algebra but I've decided to go back and fill in the gaps that have held me back. Good luck on your journey! I'd be interested to see what you're learning now.

I took a look at your channel, and I have lots of respect for you. Multiple playlists about different subjects, and all of such high quality. I watch this videos everyday, because I dream to just be good at math, and there is already a lot of improvement. I have been watching since December, it is March now. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Professor Dave ,thank you for a short and outstanding video on Trigonometric Functions. These classical Trig functions are the heart and soul of Trigonometry.
When I was in college, I used to joke that I’d name my daughter SOHCAHTOA and my son IUPAC. You’re a chem guy so you’ll get that. Yeah, I love it that much.
My sincere gratitude to you, professor Dave.❤
Wow, this was some seriously good explaining.

I didn't think I would learn 6 trigonometric functions from a 7 minute youtube video. This was really helpful
Hi Professor Dave, I wanted to ask if these functions for all triangles or only for right triangles(because you mention hypotenuse). If they only work in right triangles, in the comprehension check, you listed a triangle with legs 8 and 3 which wouldn't have a hypotenuse of 11.

In the hyperbolic functions video, you explained that sinh x = e to the x - e to the -x all over 2. Is there a formula like this for the regular sine (or any of the other functions for that matter)?
@carultch
2 жыл бұрын
The answer is yes. And it involves imaginary exponents, and imaginary coefficients in the case of sine. Cosine is the easiest to remember in this form, and knowing that cos(x) = d/dx sin(x), you can derive what sine(x) needs to be in terms of the natural exponential. sin(x) = (i*e^(-i*x) - i*e^(i*x))/2 cos(x) = (e^(i*x) - e^(-i*x))/2 You can see the parallels to sinh(x) and cosh(x), because: sin(x) = -i*sinh(i*x) cos(x) = cosh(i*x)

Because the triangle itself is located in those quadrants. Start the trigonometry playlist from the beginning, it explains the stuff you need before this one.

The 30-60-90 right triangle is a special right triangle, that is exactly half of an equilateral triangle. Start with an equilateral triangle,, with the bottom side horizontal, and all side lengths equal to 1. Label the corners, A, B, and C, proceeding counterclockwise from the right point. Now split the line AC in half, and call the midpoint D. We now have a right triangle, A, B, D. The angles of all sides of an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees, and since the angle at point A remained unchanged, its angle is 60 degrees. The angle at point B was cut in half, so it is now 30 degrees. The angle at D is a right angle. We know side length AB, which is the original side length of the equilateral triangle, which of course is 1. We also know side length AD, because it is exactly half of AC, which was 1. Therefore we know side length AD to equal 1/2. Set up lengths AB, AD, and BD in the Pythagorean theorem. AD^2 + BD^2 = AB^2 Solve for BD: BD = sqrt(AB^2 - AD^2) Plug in AB = 2 and AD = 1 BD = sqrt(1^2 - (1/2)^2) BD = sqrt((2/2)^2 - (1/2)^2) BD = sqrt(4/4 - 1/4) BD = sqrt(3/4) BD = sqrt(3)/2 We now show that triangle A, B, D has leg 1 equal to 1/2, leg 2 equal to sqrt(3)/2, and a hypotenuse of 1.
