#tangent — Public Fediverse posts

I'm looking for a math #math #teacher who could show me, in #trigonometry , why it is equivalent to measure the #tangent as "an oblic segment" (towards the X axis) and a "vertical segment" (on x=1)

It seems intuitivelly logical, but i can't find a way to properly demonstrate it.

Thank you!

“In 1980, #Intel released the #Intel8087 #FloatingPoint coprocessor, a chip that could make math up to 100 times faster. As well as arithmetic and square roots, the 8087 computed #transcendental functions including #tangent, #exponentiation, and #logarithms.

But it all depended on a 69-bit adder: "The arithmetic heart of the floating-point execution unit is centered about a #nanomachine comprised of the adder and its related #registers, #shifters and control circuitry," as the patent describes it”

Dear Friends who can still not touch #type let alone thumb type or #spell properly or prettily, without help,

Yes ye olde #dinosaurs, we have managed to:

- Change and use varied Operating Systems
- #Techno inhabit the cyber super-highways
- #Rebelled against the money #monstrosities
- Used modern #modems (when they were)
- Worked in the silence of the night
- Gone to #free computer shows
- Bought #floppies in bulk

Now we are coming to warn you that
the space rocks are not your friends.
The mega #monster corps are trying
to eat your #brains

What can you do against this do-do?
1) #Develop #independent and #critical
capacity from the phone zombie infestation
2) #Enrich your life not you #dependence
3) Find lateral, #tangent and diverse friendship

You are the #meek not the market and this is your #inheritance

Giving #Tangent a try as an #OrgRoam / #Obsidian alternative. Very good first impressions so far. :moomin_hmm:

And so, here are four functions to demonstrate it. The default resolution of the plotting routine is crude, leading to #Aliasing and so the mesh has to be refined somewhat.

Here are three #ConicSections and one #Trigonometric functions.

An #Ellipse
A #Parabola.
A #Hyperbola.
A rotating #Tangent function.

I was explaining to my wife yesterday how #DifferentialCalculus gives us a way to find the #gradient of a #function at any point and to illustrate it I wrote a short routine in #Maxima to draw the #tangent to any point on a graph of a function. Here we see the example for the #quadratic and #reciprocal functions, x^2 and 1/x i.e. a #parabola and a #hyperbola respectively.
