The basic equation is of general form y = R(x) where (here) R is the Sine, Cosine or Tangent of x, and consequently the Sine and Cosine curves plot oppositely from +1 via 0 to -1 (minus 1) over 180º. The y-values of the Tangent curve goes cyclically from 0 to infinity as x goes from 0º to 90º: it looks odd at first, and you might even think you've gone wrong!
Plot in the usual way: left-hand column or top row for suitable increments of x = [angle in degrees], neighbouring columns or rows below for the corresponding ratio values. To get the best out of it, plot 0º to 360º, to give a whole Sine Wave cycle - it and the Circle to which it can be related geometrically, being perhaps the 2 most important curves in Nature!
There is no simple solution. You need to select a span of 2pi radians (360 degrees) for sine, cosine and their reciprocals, or pi radians (180 deg) for tan and cotangent. Select a set of values within these domains and use a calculator or table to find the values of the trigonometric ratio and then plot them. Beyond the selected values the functions will repeat itself.
Note that there are some values where all the ratios except sine and cosine are asymptotic and your calculator will indicate an error.

Are trig functions irrational?
Yes.
When do we use trig functions?
Trigonometry functions are used to work out the various properties of triangles.
Which trigonometric functions are even?
Cosine and secant are even trig functions.
What was the very first recorded step in the development of the trig functions?
The first recorded functions had something to do with the chords of a circle.
How do you use cosine?
cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse. It can be used as other trig functions can.
Are trig functions irrational?
Yes.
How do you find the horizontal asymptote of a trig function?
The only trig functions i can think of with horizontal assymptotes are the inverse trig functions. and they go assymptotic for everytime the non-inverse function is equal to zero.
When do we use trig functions?
Trigonometry functions are used to work out the various properties of triangles.
Which trigonometric functions are even?
Cosine and secant are even trig functions.
How do trig functions greet each other?
with a sine wave
What was the very first recorded step in the development of the trig functions?
The first recorded functions had something to do with the chords of a circle.
How do trig functions communicate?
They do not. They are not animate nor sentient and so they are incapable of communicating.
How often did a student who got C on his trig functions test do his homework?
Periodically
How do you use cosine?
cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse. It can be used as other trig functions can.
Is there an easy way to calculate trig functions?

What is the period all trigonometric functions?
The basic trigonometric functions have periods of pi or 2pi radians (180 or 360 degrees). But a key property of a trig function is that it can be made to have any periodicity.The basic trigonometric functions have periods of pi or 2pi radians (180 or 360 degrees).
