    The usual principal values of the arcsin(x) (red) and arccos(x) (blue) functions graphed on the cartesian plane. The usual principal values of the arctan(x) and arccot(x) functions graphed on the cartesian plane. Principal values of the arcsec(x) and arccsc(x) functions graphed on the cartesian plane.

  4. atan2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2

    [3] The two figures below show 3D views of respectively atan2(y, x) and arctan(⁠ y / x ⁠) over a region of the plane. Note that for atan2(y, x), rays in the X/Y-plane emanating from the origin have constant values, but for arctan(⁠ y / x ⁠) lines in the X/Y-plane passing through the origin have

  5. 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] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  6. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The right-hand end of the ST or SRT scale cannot be accurate for both arcsine(0.1) = 5.74 degrees and arctangent(0.1) = 5.71 degrees. Some slide rules, such as the K&E Deci-Lon in the photo, calibrate to be accurate for radian conversion, at 5.73 degrees (off by nearly 0.4% for the tangent and 0.2% for the sine for angles around 5 degrees).

  7. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    The values of sine and cosine of 30 and 60 degrees are derived by analysis of the equilateral triangle. In an equilateral triangle, the 3 angles are equal and sum to 180°, therefore each corner angle is 60°. Bisecting one corner, the special right triangle with angles 30-60-90 is obtained.

  8. Tangent half-angle substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle...

    [4] The substitution is described in most integral calculus textbooks since the late 19th century, usually without any special name. [ 5 ] It is known in Russia as the universal trigonometric substitution , [ 6 ] and also known by variant names such as half-tangent substitution or half-angle substitution .

  9. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    If = then ⁡ is 45 degrees or radians. This means that if the real part and complex part are equal then the arctangent will equal π 4 {\textstyle {\frac {\pi }{4}}} . Since the arctangent of one has a very slow convergence rate if we find two complex numbers that when multiplied will result in the same real and imaginary part we will have a ...
