The conjecture informally by considering further examples of sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ that are not in the table of values, in quadrant 1 that have not been mentioned in the table of values are positive, all in Quadrant 2 only have the sine value as positive, all in Quadrant 3 have only the tangent value as positive, and in Quadrant 4 only the cosine value is positive.
Sin θ= opposite/ hypotenuse= y/r
Cos θ= adjacent/ hypotenuse= x/r
Tan θ= opposite/ adjacent= y/x
Since r should always be positive as what I said in the top.
Getting the sine value for theta, the length of the side opposite to theta is divided by the length of the hypotenuse or opposite side of theta divided by hypotenuse which is r. Thus, in this investigation, . Similarly, getting the cosine of any value of θ, wherein the length of the adjacent side to θ is divided by the length of the hypotenuse, would be. Attaining the tangent, in which the length of the opposite side is divided by the length of the side adjacent to θ, would have the equation .
Now by step by step, the conjecture will be described in each step.
First, in first quadrant where (00 to 900, as well as -2700 to -3600) all values of y are positive, radius which is always positive or in other words real number, dividing the y value or opposite of that will always give positive quotient.
Since cosine is also x/r or adjacent divided by hypotenuse R. It will become positive again which the same situation of Sin θ.
In first Quadrant Tangent opposite/hypotenuse will also be positive in quadrant 1 ().
In Quadrant 2, the y value is negative or meaning that sin θ is negative, but radius and x remaining positive. Influencing the sine and tangent value of θ. However by the y value being negative it will not only affect sin θ but also tan θ= y/x, as a negative number divided by a positive results in a negative answer.
As it can be seen in the diagram, all x and y values in Quadrant 3 are negative, though the r value remains positive as it is a radius of a circle, which cannot be negative. As all three formulas for calculating the sine, cosine and tangent values involve x and y, all are affected. It is given that and . Because the negative values of x and y are being divided by the positive value of r, the result will always be negative.
However, in the tangent formula, wherein, a negative value is being divided by another negative value, which will in turn give us a positive quotient.
In Quadrant 4, as can be referred to in the diagram on the right, only the x value is negative, whilst the values for y and r are positive. This in turn affects the formulas for attaining the cosine and tangent of θ, as they are the formulas which involve the x value. In and , the negative x value is either being divided by or is dividing a positive value, which would result in a negative quotient. However, because and both y and r values are in this case positive, the sine of θ in Quadrant 4 will always be positive.
Part B: Trigonometric Identities
Upon the analysis of the table of values from Part A, we can conjecture the relationship among sinθ, cosθ, and tanθ for any angle θ.
As can be clearly seen in the table above, the values for tanθ and are identical.
Further to prove this, I used TI 83 calculator for better explanation such as random numbers.
First for quadrant 1, I will choose a value or a degree for tangent theta between 0-90 degrees and -360 to -270. Which are 76 and -298 degrees.
For other revolutions
For quadrant two the range between 90 to 180 and -270 to -180
With the example of 127 and -222
For quadrant 3, the range of tan theta will be 180-270 and -180 to -90.
With the example of 199 and -101
Finall for quadrant four with the range of 270 to 360 and -90 to 0
With the example of 354 and -4 degrees.
Therefore, through this further examples we again can see that the conjecture between tanθ and are identical.
a) Cos θ= x/r
sin θ= y/r
tan θ= y/x
sin θ/ Cos θ=(y/r)/(x/r) so y/r divided by x/r equals y/r times r/x. Which r gets simplified equaling y/x. So if we see tan it will become y/x which means sin θ/ Cos θ equals to tan θ.
Equation:
b) Expressing Cos θ,tan θ and tan θ in terms of x,y and r
then for x value it will be x= Cos θ( r ), y value y= sin θ( r ) and tan equaling Tan θ= y/x equaling sin θ( r ) divided by Cos θ( r ) then as what I said in the above, the r gets simplified just leaving.
y= sin θ( r )
Tan θ= y/x equaling sin θ( r ) divided by Cos θ( r ) then as what I said in the above, the r gets simplified just leaving
sin²θ+cos²θ, the relationship between sin²θ and cos²θ is whenever I add them sin²θ+cos²θ this becomes one and even though whatever angle we put for θ the sum sin²θ+cos²θ will always be 1.
In Part A when expressing sin θ, cos θ and tan θ in terms of x, y and r. Which sin θ=y/r, cos θ= x/r and cos² θ= x²/r² so when squaring cosine theta and squaring sine theta sin² θ will equal= y²/r² after this when adding sin² θ + cos² θ this will equal x²/r² + y²/r² which the sum is x²+ y²/r² then since x ² + y² is r² we will substitute r² in the equation of x²+ y²/r² giving r²/ r² simplifying to 1. As a result x²+ y²=r² so in number 1 Part A
sin² θ + cos² θ= 1.
The value of Sin θ and Cos θ in the first quadrant 0<= θ <= 90. The value of sine theta equals the value of y divided by the value of r and the value of cosine theta equals the value of x divided by the value of r. Therefore, the square of the value of sine theta equals the square of the value of y divided by the square of the value of r and the square of the value of cosine theta equals the square of the value of x divided by the square of the value of r. When the square of the value of cosine theta is added to the square of the value of sine theta, the result of the square of the value of x divided by the square of the value of r is added to the result of the square of the value of y divided by the square of the value of r.

The values of sinθ and cosθ within the range of 0°≤θ≤90° are analyzed in order to conjecture another relationship between sinθ and cosθ for any angle θ.
A portion of Table 1 within the range of 0°≤θ≤90° showing the relationship between sinθ and cosθ for any angle θ
The colors matching, by twos are meaning that they share the same values. Based on this table we can see that there is relation between sinθ and cosθ from 0 to 90 degree. The example of sin30 equals to cos60 which the relation is that the theta is same. So the value of sinθ is equal to cos (90-θ) then next step if we determine sinx= cosy. Then x+y will result 90 degree this tells us that it leads to complementary angle. As shown in the colored portions of the table above, sin(0) equals cos(90), sin(10) equals cos(80), sin(20) equals cos(70), sin(30) equals cos(60), sin(40) equals cos(50), sin(50) equals cos(40), sin(60) equals cos(30), sin(70) equals cos(20), sin(80) equals cos(10), and sin(90) equals cos(0).
Therefore, when the angle of sine and the angle of cosine are summed up, it is equal to 90; complementary.
sinx=cosy
x+y=90
Thus, the value of sine theta is equal to the value of cosine 90 minus theta.
sin θ=cos(90- θ)
Again to verify the conjecture, two random angles that are not already in the table of balues are tested from the first quadrant in the range of 0°≤θ≤90°.
When 36 is to represent the value of x and 54 is to represent the value of y in the conjecture sinx=cosy, sin(36) would equal to sin(54) Again this should add up to 90 degrees.
sinx=cosy
sin(36)=cos(54)
sin θ=cos(90- θ)
sin(36)=cos(90-36)
0.5878=0.5878
When 13 is to represent the value of x and 77 is to represent the value of y in the conjecture sinx=cosy, sin(13) would equal to cos(77). Again this should add up to 90 degrees.
sinx=cosy
sin(13)=cos(77)
sin θ=cos(90- θ)
sin(13)=cos(90-13)
0.2250=0.2250
When 54 is to represent the value of x and 36 is to represent the value of y in the conjecture sinx=cosy, sin(54) would equal to sin(36) Again this should add up to 90 degrees.
sinx=cosy
sin(54)=cos(36)
sin θ=cos(90- θ)
sin(54)=cos(90-54)
0.8090=0.8090
When 77 is to represent the value of x and 13 is to represent the value of y in the conjecture sinx=cosy, sin(77) would equal to sin(13). Again this should add up to 90 degrees.
sinx=cosy
sin(77)=cos(13)
sin θ=cos(90- θ)
sin(77)=cos(90-77)
0.9744=0.9744
Considering a triangle in the first quadrant with angle θ, the measure of the other acute angle in the triangle in terms of θ is (90-θ). The conjecture sin θ=cos(90- θ) is to be proved by using the values of sine and cosine in terms of x,y,r of the angle (90-θ).
The origin and a radius of r units drawn to some point in the four quadrant of the circle forming a right triangle with its sides x,y, and r and its acute angles θ and (90- θ)
With a triangle in the graph above labeled with x,y and r as its sides, the value of cosθ equals to the adjacent side over the radius which means x/r. The value of cosθ is also proved to equal the value of sin(90-θ) which equals to the opposite side over the radius meaning x over r also. As cosθ= and sin(90-θ)= , therefore, cosθ= sin(90-θ).
So, the value of sinθ equals to the opposite side over the radius meaning y over r. This equals to the value of cos(90-θ) which means the adjacent side over the radius resulting y over r also. As sinθ= and cos(90-θ)= , therefore, cos(90-θ)= sinθ.
