Definition of i., s. teğet, tanjant in Turkish English dictionary

tangent

Touching a curve at a single point but not crossing it at that point

Of a topic, only loosely related to a main topic

{n} a line perpendicular to radius or which touches a curve

A line drawn to the surface on an arc or circle so that it contacts the arc or circle at only one point

{i} line or curve that touches but does not intersect with another line or curve (Geometry)

touching at a single point

When an angle in a right angle is X, the tangent of x is the ratio of lengths of the side opposite x to the side adjacent to x

The ratio of the sine to the cosine, in either the real or complex numbers

ratio of the opposite to the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point but does not intersect it at that point

The small metal square that strikes the string of a clavichord

In a right triangle, the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to the angle. Symbol: tan

the tangent to a curve at some point, Z, on that curve is a straight line that touches point Z but does not cross the curve at that point

A tangent is a line that touches the edge of a curve or circle at one point, but does not cross it

Touching; touching at a single point meeting a curve or surface at a point and having at that point the same direction as the curve or surface; said of a straight line, curve, or surface; as, a line tangent to a curve; a curve tangent to a surface; tangent surfaces

(n) A condition in which a straight line is in contact with a curve at only one point Tangents describe the smooth transition from a linear/planar element to a curved one Geometric construction techniques are used to define tangent curves in an engineering drawing

See Trigonometrical function, under Function

In the context of a animation curve key, the tangents define how values are interpolated between successive keys By changing a key's tangents you can make the animation faster or slower between keys

A straight line touching a curve at a single point without crossing it there

the tangent of an angle in a right-angled triangle is opposite
