The tangent is defined as the single point where a straight line meets a curved surface. The tangent can be determined with a collection of mathematical formulas but is most commonly determined by ...

In a function such as sine or cosine, we could also have a translation of the form: \(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has been ...

This circle has the centre at the origin and a radius of 1 unit. The point P can move around the circumference of the circle. At point P the \(x\)-coordinate is \(\cos{\theta}\) and the ...

Trigonometry is the branch of math that studies triangles, with a particular focus on the relationships between angles and the lengths of corresponding sides. Interestingly enough, the trigonometric ...

In support of efforts to foreground functions as central objects of study in algebra, this study provides evidence of how secondary students use trigonometric functions in contextual tasks. The author ...
