Circular functions
About this lesson
We have spent a lot of video time talking about sine and cosine functions - which are really important in terms of understanding for the exams and possible SAC questions. We now take a look at the tan function in terms of what it looks like, how it can be transformed and how it can be used to help solve trig functions.
