Trigonometric functions quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Trigonometric functions card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The trigonometric functions most commonly used in modern mathematics are the sine, the cosine, and the ______ functions.
Answer
tangent. The trigonometric functions most commonly used in modern mathematics are the sine, the cosine, and the tangent functions. From the Trigonometric functions article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Scientific Revolution. Scientific Revolution 89 · Radar 86 · Trigonometric functions 82 · Plasma 79 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are widely used in all sciences that are related to geometry, such as navigation, solid mechanics, celestial mechanics, geodesy, and many others.
- They are among the simplest periodic functions, and are widely used for studying periodic phenomena through Fourier analysis.
- The trigonometric functions most commonly used in modern mathematics are the sine, the cosine, and the tangent functions.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Trigonometric functions article was read about 320,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Trigonometric functions
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
