What is difference between trigonometric function and trigonometric ratios?
Answers
The two approaches are just that - different ways to get at the same underlying mathematics. That mathematics has several different uses. One is to "solve triangles" - figure out some sides and angles when you know the values of other sides and angles. You start with right triangles but then move on to more general ones. That's where you began, and where most studies of trigonometry begin.
It turns out that those same trigonometric functions are also useful when you want to study periodic phenomena, like the length of the day in the year, or springs bobbing up and down, or old-fashioned phonograph turntables. Then it's the approach using the unit circle that gets you to the useful material faster.
It's also thought that the triangle approach is easier to understand than the unit circle approach, which is perhaps why it comes first in the curriculum.
HELLO MATE.here is ur answer
There are six trigonometric ratios in total.For example , sin is the ratio of perpendicular to hypotenuse. Trigonometric ratios are meaningful if they have some angles attached to them.
But, there are three functions of trigonometric. The first type of trigonometric functions relate an angle which satisfies the following equations :
f(q) = a/b
