    Key Skills

    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)
