- θ = π/2 + nπ
- θ = nπ
- θ = π/4 + nπ
- θ = 0 + 2nπ
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. θ = π/2 + nπ
cos θ = 0 at θ = π/2 and 3π/2 (i.e., 90° and 270°).
**General:** θ = π/2 + nπ where n ∈ ℤ. (Every π apart.)

Worked practice questions
If tan θ + cot θ = 2, find sin 2θ:
- 1/2
- 1
- 0
- 2
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 1
We have tan θ + cot θ = sinθ/cosθ + cosθ/sinθ.
That is tan θ + cot θ = (sin²θ + cos²θ)/(sinθ cosθ).
That is tan θ + cot θ = 1/(sinθ cosθ).
So tan θ + cot θ = 2/sin(2θ).
We have **So 2/sin(2θ) = 2 → sin(2θ).
So **So 2/sin(2θ) = 1.**.
If sin θ = 12/13 (acute θ in Q1), find tan(θ/2):
- 1/3
- 3/4
- 2/3
- 1/5
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 2/3
cos θ = √(1 − sin²θ) = √(1 − 144/169) = √(25/169) = 5/13 (positive in Q1).
We have tan(θ/2) = (1 − cos θ)/sin θ.
That is tan(θ/2) = (1 − 5/13)/(12/13).
That is tan(θ/2) = (8/13)/(12/13).
That is tan(θ/2) = 8/12.
So tan(θ/2) = 2/3.
