Collaborative Discussion and Writing
Why do the function values of θ depend only on the angle and not on the choice of a point on the terminal side? [6.3]
Explain the difference between reciprocal functions and cofunctions. [6.1]
In Section6.1, the trigonometric functions are defined as functions of acute angles. What appear to be the ranges for the sine, cosine, and tangent functions given the restricted domain as the set of angles whose measures are greater than 0° and less than 90°? [6.1]
Why is the domain of the tangent function different from the domains of the sine function and the cosine function? [6.3]
