cotangent

Japanese: cotangent
cotangent


[Trigonometric ratios]
In a right-angled triangle ABC with ∠ C = 90°, the values ​​of the following six ratios are determined only by the size of angle A and are unrelated to the size of right-angled triangle ABC (Figure 1). The values ​​of these ratios are called the sine (symbol sin), cosine (symbol cos), tangent (symbol tan), cotangent (symbol cot), secant (symbol sec), and cosecant (symbol cosec) of angle A, and are collectively called trigonometric ratios. The trigonometric functions described below are an extension of the concept of trigonometric ratios, and when angle θ is an acute angle (0°<θ<90°), they coincide with the definition of trigonometric ratios above. …

[三角比]
 ∠C=90゜の直角三角形ABCにおいて,次の6個の比の値は,角Aの大きさのみで定まり,直角三角形ABCの大きさには無関係である(図1)。これらの比の値を,それぞれ角Aの正弦(サインsine,記号sin),余弦(コサインcosine,記号cos),正接(タンジェントtangent,記号tan),余接(コタンジェントcotangent,記号cot),正割(セカントsecant,記号sec),余割(コセカントcosecant,記号cosec)といい,これらを総称して三角比という。次に述べる三角関数は三角比の概念の拡張であって,角θが鋭角(0゜<θ<90゜)の場合は上の三角比の定義と一致する。…
