Definition: Tangent of a Real Variable
Let \(x\in\mathbb R\) be any real number. The tangent of \(x\) is a function \(\tan:\mathbb R\mapsto\mathbb R\) defined as the ratio of the sine and cosine of $x$, formally,
$$\tan(x):=\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}.$$
The tangent function has is demonstrated in the following figure:
