Graph of tangent

How equation of tangent relates to graph

When two trigonometric graphs such as sine and cosine intersect, we call that point of intersection a solution of the system of equations. This is the same meaning that solutions of systems of linear equations has.

Solutions of Systems of Sine and Cosine graphs



Pictured below is a system made up of the equation y = sin(x) and y = cos(x) over the interval 0≤X≤2Π
Solutions of the system
