A striped racer, also known as the California whipsnake, is a species of non-venomous snake native to the coast and foothills of California. It is a long, slender, and fast-moving snake, identified by its distinctive stripes running down the length of its body. They primarily feed on lizards and small rodents. The scientific name for this species is Masticophis lateralis.
Cosine
-
The sine of the complement of an arc or angle. See Illust. ofFunctions.
Cosine meaning & definition 1 of Cosine.
-
A trigonometric function used in connection with right triangles; best seen as a ratio of side lengths.
In basic trigonometry, it is used to determine unknown side lengths or an acute angle measurement(s). In more advanced mathematics, cosine is treated simply as a function without an apparent or direct reference to a triangle (the triangle's presence becomes assumed). Examples of this may be seen in Calculus through the process of integration. Wherein, the function cosine may only be a part of a large equation.
Cosine is one component out of a three-part acronym known as: SOHCAHTOA. The term cosine occupies the CAH, wherein the series forms: Cosine (equals) Adjacent (over) Hypotenuse.
Cosine thus represents the ratio of the Adjacent side length to the Hypotenuse side length -- this is all in relation to an (acute) angle, [theta].
When dealing with an angle measurement, x (theta), the side touching the angle is referred to as the Adjacent side; the side furthest away from the angle is referred to as the Opposite side; and, in a right triangle, the hypotenuse always remains and, simplistically, may be recognized as the diagonal side.
In mathematical procedures, cosine is abbreviated as [cos] for convenience.
Note: UrbanDictionary entries do not support Entity, Hex or Decimal browser rendering. This definition replaces the Greek small letter, theta, with an x.
However, in reality, it appears as an o or a zero with a line going horizontally through the center.Cosine meaning & definition 2 of Cosine.

-
The trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle) to the hypotenuse.
Cosine meaning & definition 6 of Cosine.
-
(in a triangle that has one angle of 90°) the ratio of the length of the side next to an angle less than 90°, divided by the length of the hypotenuse (= the side opposite the 90° angle)
