Cos over sin equals cotangent (cot). More formally, cos(x) / sin(x) = cot(x).
Here's a breakdown:
- Trigonometric Functions: Cosine (cos), sine (sin), and cotangent (cot) are fundamental trigonometric functions.
- Definition of Cotangent: Cotangent is defined as the ratio of cosine to sine.
- Formula:
cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x)
Therefore, if you have the cosine and sine of an angle and divide the cosine by the sine, the result is the cotangent of that angle.
