Example
The graphs of trigonometric functions, such as sine and cosine, exhibit periodic behavior.
In calculus, the derivatives of trigonometric functions are crucial for solving many problems.
The sine and cosine trigonometric functions are fundamental in calculating wave patterns.
To solve the triangle, we used the tangent trigonometric function to find the missing angle.
By using the inverse trigonometric function, we can determine the angle from a given ratio of sides.
