Answer

(a) $0$ (b) $1$ (c) $0$

Work Step by Step

You are given that $s=2\pi$. (a) $\sin(s)=\sin(2\pi)$ The angle $2\pi$ intersects the unit circle at $(1, 0)$, and since sine gives the y-coordinate, the value of $\sin(2\pi)$ is $0$. (b) $\cos(s)=\cos(2\pi)$ The angle $2\pi$ intersects the unit circle at $(1, 0)$, and since cos gives the x-coordinate, the value of $\cos(2\pi)$ is $1$. (c) $\tan(s)=\tan(2\pi)$ The angle $2\pi$ intersects the unit circle at $(1, 0)$, and since tan gives $\frac{y}{x}$, the value of $\tan(2\pi)$ is $\frac{0}{1}$, which simplifies to $0$.
