Although there is already a trick to remembering the difference between the Cosine and Sine functions, like the y-intercepts:
Cos = 1
Sin = 0
But I find remembering with this following trick easier:
Let's flip things around for Cos...
This may sound childish but if you rotate the whole cartesian plane 90° towards the right, you will see somewhat of a "C"!
And for the Sine well...
And like Miss McGoldrick says, for the Sine function, well, sssssine for sssssnake!
Thanks!
Joey, Sine and Cosine is where I lost Math (or it lost me!) so "childish" mnemonics are appreciated!
ReplyDeleteBTW - I like the look of your Chem blog (all the H20 you can drink!) and I look forward to reading your posts there, too!

I will start posting A.S.A.P. on that blog, too! :D
