TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
➢ Trigonometric functions are also known as Circular Functions can be simply defined as
the functions of an angle of a triangle. It means that the relationship between the angles
and sides of a triangle are given by these trig functions. The basic trigonometric functions
are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant.
SIX TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
The angles of sine, cosine, and tangent are the primary classification of functions of
trigonometry. And the three functions which are cotangent, secant and cosecant can be derived
from the primary functions.
Basically, the other three functions are often used as
compared to the primary trigonometric functions. Consider the
following diagram as a reference for an explanation of these three
primary functions. This diagram can be referred to as the sin-cos-
tan triangle. We usually define trigonometry with the help of the
right-angled triangle.
Sine Function
Sin a =Opposite/Hypotenuse = CB/CA SOH-CAH-TOA
Cosine Function
Cos a = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = AB/CA
Tangent Function
Tan a = Opposite/Adjacent = CB/BA
Also, in terms of sine and cos, tan can be represented as:
Tan a = sin a/cos a
Secant, Cosecant and Cotangent Functions
• Sec a = 1/(cos a) = Hypotenuse/Adjacent = CA/AB
• Cosec a = 1/(sin a) = Hypotenuse/Opposite = CA/CB
• Cot a = 1/(tan a) = Adjacent/Opposite = BA/CB

EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
➢ An exponential function is a Mathematical function in the form f (x) = ax, where “x” is a
variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be
greater than 0. The most commonly used exponential function base is the transcendental
number e, which is approximately equal to 2.71828.
EXAMPLES:
1. a²a⁶ = a2+6 = a⁸
𝑥5
2. 𝑥 3= x5-3 = x²
3. (3²)² = 3⁴ = 81
4. y ³ p³ = (yp)³
2 2 22 4
5. (3) = 32 = 9
6. 100⁰= 1
7. y^-3 = 1/y³
LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS
➢ In mathematics, the logarithmic function is an inverse function to exponentiation. The
logarithmic function is defined as For x > 0, a > 0, and a ≠1, y= loga x if and only if x =
ay Then the function is given by f(x) = loga x The base of the logarithm is a. This can be
read it as log base a of x. The most 2 common bases used in logarithmic functions are base
10 and base e.
Product Rule
Multiply two numbers with the same base, then add the exponents.
Quotient Rule
Divide two numbers with the same base, subtract the exponents.
