Here is a trig question that I've been thinking about. I want to know which one would be the independant and the dependant of the points
(r , theta)
(r , theta)
A trig question involves using trigonometric functions (such as sine, cosine, and tangent) to solve for unknown angles or sides in a triangle.
In trigonometry, the independent variable is the angle in a triangle, and the dependent variables are the corresponding ratios of the sides (such as sine, cosine, and tangent).
To identify the independent and dependent variables in a trig question, look for the given angle and the unknown side or angle that you are solving for. The given angle will be the independent variable, and the unknown side or angle will be the dependent variable.
Identifying the independent and dependent variables is important because it helps you determine which trigonometric function to use in order to solve the question. It also helps you understand the relationship between the angle and the ratios of the sides in a triangle.
One trick is to remember that the independent variable is always the angle in a triangle, and the dependent variables are the corresponding ratios of the sides. Another trick is to start by identifying the given angle and the unknown side or angle, and then determining which function can be used to relate the two.
