Defintion
  • y = sin(x) : sine curve
    • Period = 2*pi.
    • Amplitude = 1. Range is between -1 and 1
    • sin(0) = 0, sin(90) = 1, sin(180) = 0 and sin(270) = -1.
  • y = cos(x) : cosine curve
    • Period = 2*pi.
    • Amplitude = 1. Range is between -1 and 1
    • cos(0) = 1, cos(90) = 0, cos(180) = -1 and sin(270) = 0.
  • y = tan(x) : tangent curve.
    • Period = pi.
    • Range is between -infinite to +infinite
    • tan(0) = 0, tan(89.9999999) = 9999999, tan(90.0000001) = -9999999.
  • y = csc(x) : cosecant curve.
    • Period = 2*pi.
    • Range is less than -1 and greater than 1.
    • csc(0) = 9999999, csc(90) = 1, csc(180) = 9999999 and sin(270) = -1.
  • y = sec(x) : secant curve
    • Period = 2*pi.
    • Range is less than -1 and greater than 1.
    • sec(0) = 1, sec(90) = 9999999, sec(180) = -1 and sin(270) = -9999999.
  • y = cot(x) : cotangent curve
    • Period = pi.
    • Range is between -infinite to +infinite
    • cot(0) = 9999999, cot(90) = 0, tan(180) = -9999999.
