SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the classification of the values of $\cos(1^\circ)$ and $\tan(1^\circ)$ as rational or irrational numbers. It is established that both $\cos(1^\circ)$ and $\tan(1^\circ)$ are irrational. The proof supporting this conclusion is referenced in the discussion, providing a definitive basis for the classification.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of trigonometric functions
  • Knowledge of rational and irrational numbers
  • Familiarity with angle measurement in degrees
  • Basic proof techniques in mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of trigonometric functions at non-standard angles
  • Study the proof techniques for irrationality of trigonometric values
  • Explore the implications of irrational numbers in mathematical analysis
  • Learn about the historical context of trigonometric function values
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and anyone interested in the properties of trigonometric functions and their classifications as rational or irrational numbers.
