  2. 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.

  3. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

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

    Viète. 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.

  4. Quartic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_reciprocity

    Quartic or biquadratic reciprocity is a collection of theorems in elementary and algebraic number theory that state conditions under which the congruence x 4 ≡ p (mod q) is solvable; the word "reciprocity" comes from the form of some of these theorems, in that they relate the solvability of the congruence x 4 ≡ p (mod q) to that of x 4q (mod p).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Law of tangents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_tangents

    Fourier. v. t. e. In trigonometry, the law of tangents or tangent rule[1] is a statement about the relationship between the tangents of two angles of a triangle and the lengths of the opposing sides. In Figure 1, a, b, and c are the lengths of the three sides of the triangle, and α, β, and γ are the angles opposite those three respective sides.

  8. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    v. t. e. Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. Euler's formula states that, for any real number x, one has where e is the base of the natural logarithm, i is the imaginary ...

  9. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    30° and 60°. 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.
