MySQL TAN Function

MySQL TAN function is one of the Numeric Function which is used to calculate the trigonometric Tangent of the specified expression. The mathematical formula for this function is: TAN(x) = Length of the Opposite Side / Length of the Adjacent Side. In this article we will show you, How to find tangent values in MySQL using Command Prompt, and Workbench with example.

MySQL TAN Syntax

The basic syntax of the TAN in MySQL is as shown below:

SELECT TAN (Numeric_Expression)
FROM Source

To demonstrate this TAN Numeric function, we are going to use the below shown data

MySQL TAN Function Example 1

The TAN Function is used to return the trigonometric tangent values for any numeric data. The following MySQL query will show multiple ways to use TAN function.

-- MySQL TAN Function Example

-- Tangent of Negative Value
SELECT TAN(-5.64) AS `Tangent Value`;

-- Tangent of Positive Value
SELECT TAN(PI()) AS `Tangent Value`;

-- Tangent of Numeric Expression
SELECT TAN(6.55 + 5.95 - 7.15) AS `Tangent Value`;

-- Tangent of string value
SELECT TAN('2.76') AS `Tangent Value`;

-- Tangent of String
SELECT TAN('MySQL') AS `Tangent Value`;

As you can see, we used TAN function to find the Tangent of different values. And, we assigned a new name to the result as ‘Tangent Value’ using ALIAS Column.

MySQL TAN Example 2

In MySQL, TAN Numeric Function also allows you to find the tangent of the table data. In this example, we are going to find the tangent value for all the records present in Service Grade column.

-- MySQL Tangent Example
USE mysqltutorial;
SELECT Product, Color,
		StandardCost, Sales, TaxAmt, 
        ServiceGrade,
        TAN(ServiceGrade) AS `Grade Tangent Value`
FROM `numeric functions`;
