Trigonometry


Note: Recall the definition of coordinate «math style=¨font-family:Verdana¨ xmlns=¨http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mstyle mathsize=¨14px¨»«mi»z«/mi»«/mstyle»«/math» began with a vertical line drawn through the point «math style=¨font-family:Verdana¨ xmlns=¨http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mstyle mathsize=¨14px¨»«mfenced»«mrow»«mn»1«/mn»«mi mathvariant=¨normal¨»,«/mi»«mspace width=¨0.33em¨/»«mn»0«/mn»«/mrow»«/mfenced»«/mstyle»«/math». As such, the fact an angle of «math style=¨font-family:Verdana¨ xmlns=¨http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mstyle mathsize=¨14px¨»«mfrac»«mrow»«mn»2«/mn»«mo»§#960;«/mo»«/mrow»«mn»3«/mn»«/mfrac»«/mstyle»«/math» has its coordinates of the form «math style=¨font-family:Verdana¨ xmlns=¨http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mstyle mathsize=¨14px¨»«mfenced»«mrow»«mn»1«/mn»«mi mathvariant=¨normal¨»,«/mi»«mspace width=¨0.33em¨/»«mi»z«/mi»«/mrow»«/mfenced»«/mstyle»«/math» lying in quadrant IV does make sense, despite maybe seeming a little odd at first glance.

Here are several cycles of «math style=¨font-family:Verdana¨ xmlns=¨http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mstyle mathsize=¨14px¨»«mi»f«/mi»«mfenced»«mi mathvariant=¨normal¨»§#952;«/mi»«/mfenced»«mo»=«/mo»«mi»tan§#952;«/mi»«/mstyle»«/math».
