Unit Circle and Tangent Function
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the relationship between the unit circle and the tangent function. By constructing the unit circle and the tangent function, one can visually understand the periodicity and odd symmetry of the tangent function. The commands used in the construction include: Intersect (intersection), Circle (circle), Angle (angle), and Segment (line segment). Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning trigonometric functions.
