TAN(x)
- where x is in Radians
- by default Calci use Radian as angle
DTAN can be used if the angle is in degrees.
The angle can be a single value or any complex array of values.
For example TAN(1..100) can give an array of the results, which is the TAN value for each of the elements in the array. The array could be of any shape.
Description
Consider x = 90 then =TAN(RADIANS(90)) gives 1
- This function gives the tangent of 'x'.
- In a right angled triangle, TAN = Opposite / Adjacent or SIN / COS.
It will give the value in radians. To convert that in degrees multiply with 180/PI() or we have to use the radians function like TAN(RADIANS(x))
The following example shows how TAN is applied to an array of numbers containing numbers 1..10.
1..10@TAN
| Number | TAN |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.55740772465 |
| 2 | -2.18503986326 |
| 3 | -0.14254654307 |
| 4 | 1.15782128235 |
| 5 | -3.38051500625 |
| 6 | -0.29100619138 |
| 7 | 0.87144798272 |
| 8 | -6.79971145522 |
| 9 | -0.45231565944 |
| 10 | 0.64836082745 |
Examples
TAN(x)
- x is the angle in radians.
| TAN(Radian) | Value |
| TAN(0) | 0 |
| TAN(1) | 1.55740772465 |
| TAN(90) | -1.99520041221 |
