Step1: Recall unit - circle values
The sine function of an angle $\theta$ on the unit - circle is given by the $y$ - coordinate of the point on the unit - circle corresponding to $\theta$. For $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$, the point on the unit - circle is $(0,1)$. So, $\sin\frac{\pi}{2}=1$.
Step2: Recall cotangent definition
The cotangent function is defined as $\cot\theta=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$. For $\theta = - 180^{\circ}=-\pi$ radians, $\cos(-\pi)=-1$ and $\sin(-\pi)=0$. Since division by zero is undefined, $\cot(-180^{\circ})$ is undefined.
Step3: Recall cosine properties
The cosine function has the property $\cos(-\alpha)=\cos\alpha$. So, $\cos(-270^{\circ})=\cos270^{\circ}$. On the unit - circle, for $\theta = 270^{\circ}$, the $x$ - coordinate (which is $\cos\theta$) is $0$. So, $\cos(-270^{\circ}) = 0$.
Step4: Recall tangent definition
The tangent function is defined as $\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$. For $\theta=\pi$, $\sin\pi = 0$ and $\cos\pi=-1$. Then $\tan\pi=\frac{0}{-1}=0$.
