What is the square-root of a tangent?
The tangent is essentially the derivative of the function. The square-root is just what ever function that is takes two of that function to equal the tangent. If you need further help on this question just send me a message on my message board and id be glad to help you out.

How do you find whether a tangent line is vertical to a function?
A tangent line is NEVER vertical to a function. It is vertical to the normal to the function - which is as far from vertical as you can get!The graph of a function, f(x) can have a tangent at a point. Let's call the point (x0,f(x0)). If f'(x) goes to positive infinity or f'(x) goes to negative infinity as x approaches x0 then f(x) has a vertical tangent at that point.
What is the tangent ratio for angle?
In a right angled triangle, it is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite to the angle and the side adjacent to the angle.Of course, this definition restricts the function to (0, 90) degrees whereas the tangent function is defined for all real numbers.
How do you find a tangent line?
Say you are given a function and an x value.(1) First find the y coordinate that corresponds to that x value by plugging x into the function and simplifying to find y = some #. Now you have a point (x, y) that is not only on the function, but also on the tangent line.(2) Take the derivative of the function.(3) If the derivative still has xs in it, plug in the x value you were given and simplify. This should give you an actual number--the slope of the tangent line.(4) From steps 1 and 3, you now have a point on the tangent line and the slope of the tangent line. Use these two things to write the equation for the tangent line in y=mx+b form (m is the sope, plug in the point you found, solve for b, then rewrite the equation replacing m and b but leaving in x and y).
Is the tangent function periodic?
Yes, the tangent function is periodic.
Is tangent an even function?
No.
What is the function which outputs an angle when a tangent value is input?
The inverse tangent, also called the arc-tangent.
What do the asymptotes represent when you graph the tangent function?
When you graph a tangent function, the asymptotes represent x values 90 and 270.
What is arc tg?
It is probably arctan or arc tangent, the inverse of the tangent function.
What is a function whose graph has one or more breaks?
The tan [tangent] function.When a function has two or more brakes, this is not a continuous function, but it can be a continuous function in some intervals such as the tangent does.
What is the reciprocal of a tangent?
It is the cotangent function.
Why does the tangent of a particular angle always have the same value?
Because the tangent is a function of with the angle as its argument.
What is one tangent equal to?
Tangent is a function that can have any real value. Therefore one tangent can take any value in (-∞, ∞).
How does the tangent function relate to sine and cosine?
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
What is the square-root of a tangent?
The tangent is essentially the derivative of the function. The square-root is just what ever function that is takes two of that function to equal the tangent. If you need further help on this question just send me a message on my message board and id be glad to help you out.
How do you relate tangent graph with the math error in calculation of direction of resultant vector?
The tangent function will generate a calculator "math error" if the angle in questin is ±90 degrees. For these angles, the tangent function is not defined.
