General solutions Each of the trigonometric functions is periodic in the real part of its argument, running through all its values twice in each interval of 2. Sine and cosecant begin their period at 2k /2 (where k is an integer), finish it at 2k + /2, and then reverse themselves over 2k + /2 to 2k + 3/2. Cosine and secant begin their period at 2k, finish it at 2k + , and then reverse themselves over 2k + to 2k + 2. Tangent begins its period at 2k /2, finishes it at 2k + /2, and then repeats it (forward) over 2k + /2 to 2k + 3/2. Cotangent begins its period at 2k, finishes it at 2k + , and then repeats it (forward) over 2k + to 2k + 2. The two-argument atan2 function computes the arctangent of y / x given y and x, but with a range of (, ]. In other words, atan2(y, x) is the angle between the positive x-axis of a plane and the point (x, y) on it, with positive sign for counter-clockwise angles (upper half-plane, y > 0), and negative sign for clockwise angles (lower half-plane, y < 0). It was first introduced in many computer programming languages, but it is now also common in other fields of science and engineering. Inverse trigonometric functions are useful when trying to determine the remaining two angles of a right triangle when the lengths of the sides of the triangle are known. Recalling the right-triangle definitions of sine. There are enormous number of trigonometric inequalities and equations in trigonometry. And if we consider the modern time, then we have six trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant and cotangent. Out of these six the last three are derived from the first three functions. Secant is the trigonometric function which is the reciprocal of the function cosine. Cosecant is the reciprocal of the trigonometric function sine and the last one cotangent is the reciprocal of the trigonometric function tangent. And tangent can also be represented as the ratio of two trigonometric functions which are sine and cosine. All these formulae are also true for inverse trig functions. There is one another term in trigonometry, which is inverse trig functions or occasionally called cyclometric functions are nothing but the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions with different restricted domains. We use notations for inverse trig functions and they are: sin1, cos1, tan-1, cosec-1, sec-1 and cot-1 , and they are often used as arc(sin), arc(cos), arc(tan), arc(cosec), arc(sec) and arc(cot).
