Trigonometric Equations
Trigonometric equation is an equation involving one or more trigonometric ratios of unknown angles. It is expressed as ratios of sine(sin), cosine(cos), tangent(tan), cotangent(cot), secant(sec), cosecant(cosec) angles. For example, cos2 x + 5 sin x = 0 is a trigonometric equation. All possible values which satisfy the given trigonometric equation are called solutions of the given trigonometric equation.
