Questions and Answers

What is the first step to calculate trigonometric ratios on a calculator?

  • Input the angle directly without any conversion.
  • Make sure the calculator is set to 'radians' mode.
  • Ensure the calculator is in 'degrees' mode. (correct)
  • Select the appropriate trigonometric function before entering the angle.

Which of the following represents the correct way to express the square of the sine function?
