Trig Visualized: One Diagram to Rule them All (six trig functions in one diagram)

[@bart2019]

The static version would have been clearer still if the angle was not so close to 45°, so that the sine and cosine are virtually the same value.

[@MathVisualProofs]

@@bart2019 yes. Hard to make space for everything. But the angle is not 45 :)

[@clairecelestin8437]

This diagram is basically a full semester of trig, and if you remember it you can derive most of the knowledge of trigonometry. For students, please remember that there is also a skill of trigonometry, which comes from repeatedly applying the knowledge. In particular, a lot of trig problems are only solvable if you recognize the different trig identities and use them to convert the form of an equation into something you can deal with. It's worthwhile to put in the practice so you can recognize these patterns.

[@tiskbubbles4688]

For a full coverage you should also see a visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem, a derivation of the special angle values, and the proof of the angle sum identities (the rest of the identites follow from these and the Pythagorean ones algebraically). A higher level overview can mention their power series definitions (which generalize to nonreal inputs, like complex numbers or matrices, and are considered the formal definitions of the functions) and also Euler's formula.

[@tiskbubbles4688]

Law of sines and cosines is also good to prove, although it's more a fact about triangles than just the trigonometric functions themselves.

It's strange because mathematicians used this schematic to prove the Pythagoras theorem and Morley's Trisector theorem historically.

[@SanePerson1]

I'm very comfortable with math, having used it my entire career as a physical inorganic chemist. But always found most of the trigonometric identities to be difficult to remember (though with some algebra, I could derive them ... eventually). Honestly, I lean on Euler's relationship, exp(iθ) = cosθ + isinθ and algebra to get around the use of trigonometry quite often. I don't think I've ever seen tanθ, cotθ, secθ, and cscθ identified as line segments on the standard unit circle diagram. And why didn't I know that the "co" in cosine, cosecant, and cotangent stands for "complementary"? This a very enlightening approach!

[@ciaucia156]

Excellent! Educational! A huge thank you! sec × sin = tan × 1 shines in my eyes pink × blue = yellow × white and this provoked me for a bit another look at secants... with memorable trigonometric "trinity" and "co-trinity" formulas :) tan = sec × sin cot = csc × cos need to say, that those are easier identifiable on "secant (ray) centric" drawing (lines x=1 and y=1 are plotted instead of tangent) which is an alternative to this, let's call it"tangent centric"

[@MathVisualProofs]

👍😀

[@sang81]

If we assume any other radius lets say r then just multiply each identity with r to het the complete picture. Also there are two interpretations of tan, cot, sec, csc like there are two interpretations for sin amd cosine (check the diagram for two parallel vertical lines amd horizontal lines which are sin and cos. Plus when angle is 45 sin =cos , tan = cot and sec = csc. Verify from the diagram. I have a beautiful diagram on my whiteboard 😊

Another way I've seen to construct tan(theta) and sec(theta) is to draw a vertical line that is tangent to the circle at the rightmost point. and to get cosec(theta) and cot(theta), draw a horizontal tangent line at the topmost point. That representation can also show all the properties show in this one. But i prefer yours cuz it's a little neater and less messy. Thank you so much. One little thing i wish you did was extend theta out of the acute range and see the trig functions in the full 2pi range, but I imagine that it might get messy, especially tan and cot.

What you described is at wiki: "Trigonometric_functions.png". I like this one better. It is interesting that the tangent and cotangent sum to be the length of the line between the axes.
