  2. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_trigonometric...

    In mathematics, the inverse trigonometric functions (occasionally also called arcus functions, [1][2][3][4][5] antitrigonometric functions[6] or cyclometric functions[7][8][9]) are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions, under suitably restricted domains. Specifically, they are the inverses of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent ...

  3. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] [2] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  4. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    de Moivre. Euler. Fourier. v. t. e. In trigonometry, trigonometric identities are equalities that involve trigonometric functions and are true for every value of the occurring variables for which both sides of the equality are defined. Geometrically, these are identities involving certain functions of one or more angles.

  5. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    Small-angle approximation. Approximately equal behavior of some (trigonometric) functions for x → 0. The small-angle approximations can be used to approximate the values of the main trigonometric functions, provided that the angle in question is small and is measured in radians: These approximations have a wide range of uses in branches of ...

  6. Inverse hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_hyperbolic_functions

    Alternately hyperbolic angle is the area of a sector of the hyperbola Some authors call the inverse hyperbolic functions hyperbolic area functions. [1] Hyperbolic functions occur in the calculations of angles and distances in hyperbolic geometry. It also occurs in the solutions of many linear differential equations (such as the equation ...

  7. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    Pythagorean identities. Identity 1: The following two results follow from this and the ratio identities. To obtain the first, divide both sides of by ; for the second, divide by . Similarly. Identity 2: The following accounts for all three reciprocal functions. Proof 2: Refer to the triangle diagram above.

  8. Trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry

    v. t. e. Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles. In particular, the trigonometric functions relate the angles of a right triangle with ratios of its side lengths.

  9. Sine and cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine

    In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle.The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side that is opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that ...
