what do you think about say \(\bf tan(\theta) =\cfrac{{\color{brown}{ sin}}(\theta)}{{\color{blue}{ cos}}(\theta)} \qquad % cotangent cot(\theta) =\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ cos}}(\theta)}{{\color{brown}{ sin}}(\theta)} \qquad % secant sec(\theta) =\cfrac{1}{{\color{blue}{ cos}}(\theta)}\) those 3, do their denominator ever become 0? if it does, then the fraction becomes undefined

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and what about sin(x) ? does it ever become undefined?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

So, if it lands on a zero, it becomes undefined and then it doesn't have all real numbers?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

ok, thank you

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if "x", turns into a number that makes the denominator 0, the fraction becomes undefined and thus "x" CANNOT be that number, and thus then the function doesn't have all real numbers, because "x" is restricted there

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

whilst sin(x) has the luxury of pretty much have whatever value for "x"

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

So does this have all real numbers? because in the middle it lands on zero

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

sure, \(\Large \mathbb{R}\quad means\quad (+\infty, -\infty)\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

keep in mind we're referring to the x-axis, NOT the range, or y-axis the y-axis is clearly constrained, but that's the range

what about this one?
