This math topic focuses on understanding the properties of trigonometric functions of negative angles within the context of trigonometric identities. It requires analyzing and identifying whether the sine, cosine, or tangent of a negative angle equals the positive angle's trigonometric value, or its negative counterpart. Problems involve basic identities such as \(\sin(-\theta) = -\sin(\theta)\), \(\cos(-\theta) = \cos(\theta)\), and \(\tan(-\theta) = -\tan(\theta)\). This subject is an introduction to further exploration of trigonometric identities.
