Cosine and sine of an angle θ are defined to be the x and y-coordinates of the point P on the unit circle with the property that the line from O to P makes and angle θ with the positve x-axis. cos(θ) ...

Given any expression of the form \(a\cos x + b\sin x\) it is better to rewrite it into one of the forms \(k\cos (x \pm \alpha )\) or \(k\sin (x \pm \alpha )\) before answering the question. From this ...
