Cosine - practice problems

The cosine function is a trigonometric ratio representing the relationship between an angle and the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. Written as cos(θ), it ranges from -1 to 1 and is closely related to the sine function through the identity sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1. The cosine graph is a wave similar to sine but shifted by 90 degrees (π/2 radians). Cosine appears in the law of cosines for general triangles, Fourier analysis, and physics formulas involving work and projection. It models periodic phenomena and is essential for vector operations, particularly in calculating dot products. The function is even, meaning cos(-θ) = cos(θ).
