Answer:
- sin(x) is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, while cos(x) is the ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
-The graph of y = sin(x) at x = 0 starts at the origin, and then increases, while the graph of y = cos(x) starts at a max, and then decreases.
Here's a 3rd: sin(x) is the cofunction of cos(x), which means that sin(x) = cos(90-x). This also shows that they are different.
