The basic circular functions are sine, cosine and tangent. Then there are their reciprocals and inverses.

Find the range of trigonometric points?

The range of the circular trig functions sin and cos is is [-1,1], but even in the case of circular functions the range of the tangent function is all real numbers. This is of course true of tangent even if we do not limit it to circular functions. So your question, I assume, is asking about all trig functions. If so the range is all real numbers.


What is the antonym trajectory?

circular, smooth,


What are circular functions?

Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent, secant and cosecant


Is a cosine function continuous?

Yes. The cosine function is continuous. The sine function is also continuous. The tangent function, however, is not continuous.


What are the trigonometric functions and ratios?

In all there are [at least] 24 trigonometric functions and ratios. Half of these are circular and the other half are hyperbolic. Sine and Cosine are basic trigonometric funtions, abbreviated as sin and cos. Tangent is the third basic ratio defined as Sin/Cos. For each of these three, there is a corresponding reciprocal function: Sine -> Cosecant (cosec or csc) Cosine -> Secant (sec) Tangent -> Cotangent (cot). Each of the above six has an inverse function, defined on an appropriate domain. They all are named by adding the prefix "arc", for example arcsin, which is usually written as sin-1. The above are the circular functions. Each one of them has a corresponding hyperbolic equivalent. These are named by adding the suffix, "h", thus cosh, sech, arccosh [= cosh-1], etc.
