Trigonometric Functions
Let (x, y) be a point other the origin on the terminal
side of an angle in standard position. The
distance from the point to the origin is

Using a Calculator
A calculator in degree mode
returns the correct values
for sin 90 and cos 90.
The second screen shows
an ERROR message for tan
90 because 90 is not in
the domain of the tangent
function.

Caution
One of the most common errors
involving calculators in trigonometry
occurs when the calculator is set for
radian measure, rather than degree
measure.
