Formula Nature & Mechanics
Bounded Oscillatory Function: Sine and cosine oscillate smoothly between -1 and +1 with period 360° (2π rad).
Common Mistakes & Traps
- Using Degree mode when Radians are expected (or vice versa).
- Tangent asymptotes at 90° and 270° (division by cos θ = 0 causes undefined infinity).
- Forgetting inverse trigonometric domain limits (e.g., arcsin input must be between -1 and 1).

Worked Example: Double Angle Formula (Sine)
Given:
- theta = 30
- sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ
- = 2 × sin 30° × cos 30°
- = 2 × 0.5 × 0.866
- = 0.866
Answer: 0.866
