Calculate trigonometric functions including sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, and arctan. Supports both degrees and radians.
Degrees and radians are two units for measuring angles. A full circle is 360\u00b0 or 2\u03c0 radians. To convert: radians = degrees \u00d7 \u03c0/180, degrees = radians \u00d7 180/\u03c0.
Inverse trig functions (arcsin, arccos, arctan) find the angle that produces a given trig ratio. For example, arcsin(0.5) = 30\u00b0 because sin(30\u00b0) = 0.5.
Tangent is undefined at 90\u00b0 (and 270\u00b0) because cos(90\u00b0) = 0, and tan = sin/cos. Division by zero is mathematically undefined, creating an asymptote.
arcsin and arccos only accept inputs between -1 and 1. arctan accepts any real number. These restrictions exist because sine and cosine only output values in [-1, 1].
