Additional Functions

Now that we have the two defining trigonometric  functions to work with, we can start generating more. Since we are still working with right angle triangles, the functions of spiral tangent (tansx), spiral cotangent (cotsx), spiral secant (secsx), and spiral cosecant (cscsx), can be found by using their properties in regular trigonometry, as seen below. You may notice that the functions of tangent and cotangent are equal to their spiral counterparts, while those of secant and cosecant, similar to sine and cosine, are tagged along by the Binet's nth term formula.
Our trigonacci family is now complete!

Trigonacci in the Real World

     The beginning of the fall semester has been productive. I presented Trigonacci at the LSAMP Conference at Kean University, touched upon...
