# Some facts#

• Trigonometric functions are:
• sine (sinx) - the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse,
$\sin x = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$
• cosine (cosx) - the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse,
$\cos x = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$
• tangens (tanx) - the ratio of the length of the side opposite to the angle to the length of the side adjacent to this angle,
$\tan x = \dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$
• cotangens (cotx) - the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle to the length of the side that lies opposite this angle,
$\cot x = \dfrac{adjacent}{opposite}$

• secans (secx) - the ratio of the hypotenuse length to the length of the side adjacent to the angle (inverse cosine),
• cosecans (cosecx) - the ratio of the hypotenuse length to the length of the side opposite the angle of the sine.
• The values of trigonometric functions for frequently used angles can be found in mathematical tables.
• Sometimes we need to find the value of the selected trigonometric function for less typical angles, e.g. a sine of 51 degrees. Then the function's value can be calculated by developing a given function in the so-called Taylor's serie (or more general: power serie).
$\sin x = x - \dfrac{x^3}{3!} + \dfrac{x^5}{5!} - \dfrac{x^7}{7!} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\dfrac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}$
$\cos x = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}{2!} + \dfrac{x^4}{4!} - \dfrac{x^6}{6!} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\dfrac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$
$\tan x = x + \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{2 x^5}{15} + \cdots = \sum^{\infty}_{n=1} \dfrac{B_{2n} (-4)^n (1-4^n)}{(2n)!} x^{2n-1}, \quad |x|<\dfrac{\pi}{2}$
$cot\ x = \dfrac {1}{x} - \dfrac {x}{3} - \dfrac {x^3} {45} - \dfrac {2 x^5} {945} - \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{(-1)^n 2^{2n} B_{2n} x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}, \quad 0 < |x| < \pi$
$sec\ x = 1 + \dfrac {x^2}{2} + \dfrac {5 x^4} {24} + \dfrac {61 x^6} {720} + \cdots = \sum^{\infty}_{n=0} \dfrac{(-1)^n E_{2n}}{(2n)!} x^{2n}, \quad |x|< \dfrac{\pi}{2}$
• The calculation of the function value by expanding into a power series is used by computers or pocket calculators.
