Thank you, but that is not the tangent function as in the graph. That is like tan=sin/cos stuff. You cannot use the tangent graph to find the height of a tree can you?
I meant more like story problems. Unless that answer was a story problem... I'm sorry I guess I don't understand your answer. I am looking for some sort of real-life problem that could come up and eventually use the tangent function to solve it. Thank you.
Hello all, I have a question concerning the Tangent and Secant Functions (the graphs). I cannot think of a way that either of these can be used in the real world. I need to find applications for these. For example, the sine function can be used to represent waves or periodic motion... but...
