1. Is this a trig question?

[mcctatas]

2. I dunno...

but it is a catchy little ditty

[Road Scholar]

4. Actually, it's just a trig ryme.

:shrug: :hide: :hide: :hide:

[Dr. Strange]

9. Okay, here's today's trig question.

Clearly cos(sin(x)) and sin(cos(x)) are both periodic. Do they have the same period?

[Road Scholar]

10. Is this a math question?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: Because as good as I was in rhyming, I was very bad in trig.

[Dr. Strange]

12. Too late!

Start working!

[PVnRT]

15. Yes

[Dr. Strange]

16. Incorrect.

Try again.

[PVnRT]

19. No

[pokerfan]

23. No

cos(sin(x)) has the period pi.
sin(cos(x)) has the period 2pi.

[Dr. Strange]

27. It sort of surprised me.

I would have thought they would have the same period.

[pokerfan]

29. I find a picture helps

I'm a very visual person which explains my ginormous collection of pron.





Usually the problem is posed as a question: is cos(sin(x)) greater than sin(cos(x)) for all x and from the graphs one can see that it is.

3. I'm not sure this adds up....

[HopeHoops]

5. Cheerleading for geeks?

[Road Scholar]

6. Actually if you the take the cosine of the angle of the dangle times

the square root of the heat of the meat...... oh nevermind.:shrug:
edited for clarity

[HopeHoops]

11. Angle of dangle is directly proportional to the heat of the meat over the mass of the ass.

I know, it is rude, crude, and socially unacceptable, but every 8th grade guy knows that equation.

[kentauros]

7. no, for mapping and survey geeks

:P

[Road Scholar]

8. Very close!

:toast:

[kentauros]

20. Where pipelines are concerned

six inches is close enough. However, government agencies request to the second decimal accuracy (that's hundredths of a foot!)

[Bake]

13. Cheer for the trig team?

Bake

14. Cal Tech used to have a football program, and this was it's cheer.

They dropped the program after being crushed by the power-house Tijuana Tech.

26. you want a piece of

pi with that?

[jobycom]

28. Yes, Secan!
