    Sine and Cosine functions
    SL AI 2.5

    Powered by Desmos

    Notice that both ​sinx​ and ​cosx​ have a domain of ​x∈R​ and a range of ​(−1,1).

    Sinusoidal Functions
    SL AI 2.5

    A sinusoidal function is a generalization of ​sin​ and ​cos​ to the form

    ​
    asin(b(x+c))+d
    ​

    or

    ​
    acos(b(x+c))+d

    Tan function
    AHL AI 3.8

    The ​tan​ function is defined by ​tanx=cosxsinx​.

    The domain is thus ​x=22k+1​π​ (there are vertical asymptotes at those ​x′s​), and the range is all real numbers ​R.

    The function has roots at ​x=0,±π,±2π…​ (ie ​x=kπ​ where ​k∈Z​)
