  1. If n is even, there will be no change in the trigonometric ratios.
    i.e. sin(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ sin \(\theta\)
    cos(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ cos \(\theta\), etc.
  2. _x000D_
  3. If n is odd, then the trigonometric ratios change as follows:
    sin(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ cos \(\theta\)
    cos(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ sin \(\theta\)
    tan(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ cot \(\theta\)
    cosec(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒sec \(\theta\)
    sec(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ cosec \(\theta\)
    cot(n × 90° ± \(\theta\))⇒ tan \(\theta\)
  4. _x000D_
  5. The sign of the trigonometric ratio of the angle(n × 90° ± \(\theta\)) is determined by taking into consideration that in which quadrant that angle(n × 90° ± \(\theta\)) lies.
