tan45 =

  1. infinity

B Correct answer
Explanation

tan(45°) = sin(45°)/cos(45°) = (√2/2)/(√2/2) = 1. At 45 degrees, sine and cosine have equal values, so their ratio is 1. Infinity would mean cos(45°) = 0, which is false.

cos60=

  1. 1/2

  2. 0

  3. 1

  4. sqrt3/2

A Correct answer
Explanation

cos(60°) = 1/2. In the special 30-60-90 right triangle, the side adjacent to the 60° angle is half the hypotenuse. cos(0°) = 1 and cos(90°) = 0, so 1/2 is the correct intermediate value.

Multiple choice general knowledge

sin(-x)

  1. cosx

  2. -sinx

  3. 90-cosx

  4. 180-sinx
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Sine is an odd function, meaning sin(-x) = -sin(x). The graph of sine is symmetric about the origin, so the negative angle produces the negative of the original value. This is a fundamental trigonometric identity.
