This rank means a lot to me because I have strong feelings about it and ask everyone what their ranking is and not once has it been the same as mine. So, I’m here to tell everyone the correct rank of the triginometric functions. This is so #engcore of me.
sin
tan
cos
cot
sec
csc
Obviously the original 3 are better than the reciprocal trig ratios so they are my top three. BUT I do not mess with cosine. Not sure why but it gives off such bad vibes, plus its graph is the worst - it doesn’t even start at the origin. On the other hand, sine is perfect. Gaga also has a song with sine in the title so extra points for that. Tangent is great because its fun when youre solving and have a sin and cos left and then you can make them into a tan to solve for x. Its rare to rank tan in between sin and cos, most people put it first or third, but clearly it should be second.
The reciprocal ratios are all kind of bad but cotangent is fun because you can use it like tan since its just cos/sin. Secant and cosecant have a 1 in their ratio which makes them worse. However, csc is clearly the worst of the worst because of the way the short form is spelt. c, s, and c should not be beside each other…like how are you supposed to pronounce that?!?
Your take on cosine is just wrong. Also, tan is nowhere without cos and sin. It's like ranking a child higher than its parent -- questionable in every sense! Cosine starts at 1 and, as an architecture student in North America you would know that floors here don't start at the origin either; cosine befits the culture.
Personally, I really fuck with cotan. 👀 I think it has potential to be higher than cosine even though it isn't an original trig ratio. It gives C*NT CORE mixed with settlers of catan core and i really dig it. 👩❤️💋👩🐄 I think it should be number 3 because it seems quite biased you "obviously put the 3 original functions" in spots 1,2,3. You need to be more open to quirky cotan because it has suchhhh potential. Also the fact that cot 𝛉 = 1/tan 𝛉 ANDDD cos𝛉/sin𝛉 just makes it so cool. Like cotan really is that bitch. 💋 In conclusion I disagree with your ranking and I would love to see some justice brought to cotan. It also…
WRONG!!!!!!!!! i will not stand for cosine being after tangent. In NO world is that okay. I came to this page with a positive outlook, but now I don’t know what to think…
