Sine, Cosine and Tangent - Math is Fun
Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the main functions used in Trigonometry and are based on a Right-Angled Triangle. Before getting stuck into the functions, it helps to give a name to each side of a right triangle: Opposite is always opposite the angle. And Adjacent is always next to the angle.
Tangent - Wikipedia
In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is, intuitively, the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point.
TANGENT Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The meaning of TANGENT is an abrupt change of course : digression. How to use tangent in a sentence.
Tangent | Definition, Formulas, & Facts | Britannica
The tangent is one of the six fundamental trigonometric functions in mathematics. In a right triangle, it is the ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the length of the side adjacent to that angle.
Tangent - Math.net
The graph of tangent is periodic, meaning that it repeats itself indefinitely. Unlike sine and cosine however, tangent has asymptotes separating each of its periods.
Tangent Formulas - GeeksforGeeks
Tangent of an angle in a right-angled triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side to the given angle. We write a tangent function as "tan".
TANGENT | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary
TANGENT meaning: 1. a straight line that touches but does not cut into a curve 2. (in a triangle that has one angle of 90°) the ratio of the length of the side opposite…
Trigonometric Functions - Definition, Formula, Table, Identities, and ...
There are six trigonometric functions, of which sine, cosine, and tangent functions are basic functions, while secant (sec), cosecant (cosec or csc), and cotangent (cot) are derived from the three basic functions.
Tangent - Interactive Mathematics
In geometry, a tangent is a line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at one point only. Tangent lines to circles are perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency, and the tangent line to an ellipse is the line that touches it at exactly one point.
Tangent -- from Wolfram MathWorld
The tangent function is defined by tanx= (sinx)/ (cosx), (1) where sinx is the sine function and cosx is the cosine function. The notation tgx is sometimes also used (Gradshteyn and Ryzhik 2000, p. xxix).
