Similar right triangles illustrating the tangent and secant trigonometric functions Trigonometric functions and their reciprocals on the unit circle. The Pythagorean theorem applied to the blue triangle shows the identity 1 + cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ, and applied to the red triangle shows that 1 + tan 2 θ = sec 2 θ.
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
For 8, 16, and higher powers of 2, there is no primitive root; the powers of 5 are the units () and their negatives are the units (). [16] For example 5 1 ≡ 5 , 5 2 ≡ 5 0 ≡ 1 ( mod 8 ) {\displaystyle 5^{1}\equiv 5,\;5^{2}\equiv 5^{0}\equiv 1{\pmod {8}}}
In number theory, Zsigmondy's theorem, named after Karl Zsigmondy, states that if > > are coprime integers, then for any integer , there is a prime number p (called a primitive prime divisor) that divides and does not divide for any positive integer <, with the following exceptions:
for certain polynomials A n (z) and B n (z) with integer coefficients, A n (z) of degree φ(n)/2, and B n (z) of degree φ(n)/2 − 2. Furthermore, A n (z) is palindromic when its degree is even; if its degree is odd it is antipalindromic. Similarly, B n (z) is palindromic unless n is composite and n ≡ 3 (mod 4), in which case it is ...
The tangent of half an angle is important in spherical trigonometry and was sometimes known in the 17th century as the half tangent or semi-tangent. [2] Leonhard Euler used it to evaluate the integral ∫ d x / ( a + b cos x ) {\textstyle \int dx/(a+b\cos x)} in his 1768 integral calculus textbook , [ 3 ] and Adrien-Marie Legendre described ...
In the integral , we may use = , = , = . Then, = = () = = = + = +. The above step requires that > and > We can choose to be the principal root of , and impose the restriction / < < / by using the inverse sine function.
