What does the tangent of infinity equal?
The tangent of infinity is undefined because it is not a real number. The tangent function is defined as the ratio of the side opposite a given angle to the side adjacent to the angle in a right triangle. Since infinity is an abstract concept which has no physical representation, it is not possible to measure the sides of a triangle with an infinite length. Therefore, the tangent of infinity is undefined.
Which correctly describes the tangent function?
opposite/adjacent :) apex
How do you calculate tangent of an angle?
the tangent of an angle is equal to the length of the opposite side from the angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.
What is a sine ratio?
The Sine ratio is Sine(angle) = opposite side / hypotenuse side. This is written in 'short-hand' as Sin(angle) = o / h Similarly the cosine ratio is Cosine(angle) = adjacent side / hypotenuse side. Cos(angle) = a/h Similarly the tangent ratio is Tangent(angle) = opposite side /adjacent side. Tan(angle) = o/a NB THe sides refer to the sides of a right-angled triangle. NNB The angle referred to is NOT the right angle, but a selected angle from the other two angles.
