Why is tan90 equals infinity?
Note: Assuming you are working with natural, integer, rational(fraction), or real numbers. It doesn't. Infinity is not a number, even though, due to us mathematicians being lazy, we denote something = infinity. But we NEVER write tan 90 = infinity. But rather lim_x->(90degree) tan x = infinity. Meaning as x gets closer to 90 degree (even though degree is a horrible measurement for angle, we will use it), the value of tan x gets large faster and unbounded. tan x? It doesn't exist. Why? Because tan x is defined as (sin x / cos x). When x = 90 degree, cos x = 0, while sin x is positive around x = 90 degree. sin x / cos x := sinx x 1 / cos x, x = 90 degree, we get 1 x 1 / 0. But the definition for inverses does not include 0, meaning 1 / 0 does NOT exist. so, sadly, tan 90degree doesn't exist. The best we can do is see what happens around x = 90degree for tan, as you go into Calculus, you will know the tool is called limits and derivatives. And you might also see the reason it is +infinity, but not -infinity. (tan x approaches -infinity as x approaches 180degree). WHat's more? You will learn a far better measurement for angle that you will stick with in Calculus.
The transformation f x y y x is what degree rotation?
90 degree anticlockwise.
What is tan of 90 degrees?
On the unit circle at 90 degrees the 90 degrees in radians is pi/2 and the coordinates for this are: (0,1). The tan function = sin/cos. In the coordinate system x is cos and y is sin. Therefore (0,1) ; cos=0, & sin=1 . Tan=sin/cos so tan of 90 degrees = 1/0. The answer of tan(90) = undefined. There can not be a 0 in the denominator, because you can't devide by something with no quantity. Something with no quantity is 0. Or, on a limits point of view, it would be infinity.
What is tan x csc x?
tan(x)*csc(x) = sec(x)
