AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between the quotient property and the tangent function, specifically tan(0). It is clarified that tangent is defined as the ratio of sine to cosine, expressed as tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ). The user sought guidance on expressing tan(0) using trigonometric functions. After receiving assistance, the user successfully completed the problem. The conversation emphasizes understanding the quotient property in trigonometry.

sec 0 = 1/cos 0

Write the quotient property expressing tan 0 as a quotient of two other trigonometric functions...is there someone that please lead me in the right direction?

The tangent is the ratio of two quantities. You should be able to express both of those quantities in terms of of trigonometric functions.
 
tan(\theta) is defined as \frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}. Is that what you mean?
 
Thank you

Thank you for your help. I was able to complete this problem.
