Tangent Function:

The tangent function relates the ratio of two sides of a right triangle. It gives us the slope or steepness of a line passing through a point on the unit circle.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions:

These functions, including arctan, arcsin, and arccos, allow us to find angles given certain ratios or values from trigonometric functions.

Chain Rule:

The chain rule is used when finding derivatives of composite functions. It helps us calculate how changes in one variable affect another variable within a function.
