Trig expression (Will post have patience)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin \pi ^{c}+2\cos ^{c}+3\times \sin \frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 }^{c}+4\cos \frac{ 3 \pi}{ 2}^{c}-5\sec \pi ^{c}-6cosec \frac{ 3\pi }{2 }^{c}\]

I know this is easy but i just want some hints to proceed i know to convert it into degrees

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

what does "c" represent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radians

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh ok well the quickest way to convert to degrees is simply make the substitution pi = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 180+2cos180+3sin270+4cos270-5sec180-6cosec270

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to proceed further i know that these are periodic functions but then after what value their value repeats respectively @dumbcow

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

well you could simply compute this with a calculator the period of sin/cos is 360 degrees period of tan is 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are not allowed to use calc

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

use unit circle then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unit_circle_angles_color.svg
