The value of sin(180° + θ)·cos(90° − θ) + cos(180° − θ)·sin(90° + θ) is:

Competition practiceTrigonometry
  • A−1
  • B1
  • C0
  • D−2

Step-by-Step Solution

Take the four allied angles one at a time: sin(180° + θ) = −sinθ, cos(90° − θ) = sinθ, cos(180° − θ) = −cosθ and sin(90° + θ) = cosθ. The expression collapses to −siθ − coθ = −1. Missing both sign flips leaves +1, reading the whole thing as the expansion of sin suggests 0, and −2 forgets that siθ + coθ is already 1.
Answer: A) −1

The product tan(90° + θ)·cot(180° − θ) simplifies to:For an acute angle θ, cos(270° − θ) is equal to:The sum sinθ + sin(180° − θ) + sin(180° + θ) + sin(360° − θ) equals:A and B are acute angles with tanA = 1/2 and tanB = 1/3. Then A + B equals:If sinA = 8/17 and cosB = 12/13, where A and B are both acute, then cos(A − B) equals:
