Examples of secant
secant
This slope is determined by considering the limiting value of the slopes of secant lines.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The developable surface may also be either tangent or secant to the sphere or ellipsoid.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A chord is the portion of a secant that lies within the curve.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The derivative is the value of the difference quotient as the secant lines approach the tangent line.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Actually, the maximum rate of change is proportional to the secant of the angle of elevation of the sun.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The sine, tangent, and secant functions of an angle constructed geometrically in terms of a unit circle.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The word secant comes from the Latinsecare, to cut.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Consequently the secant lines do not approach any single slope, so the limit of the difference quotient does not exist.

- A straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
- Ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle
- Secant is a term in mathematics. It comes from the Latin secare (to cut). It can refer to: * a secant line, in geometry * the secant method, a root-finding algorithm in numerical analysis, based on secant lines to graphs of functionsn* the trigonometric function, reciprocal to the cosine
- Prentice Hall Geometry defines secant as "Line, ray, or segment that contains a chord of a circle." Is a chord also a secant? If a chord contains itself, it would be a secant. This text seems not to define contain.
- A map projection in which the surface used for the map "cuts" the globe at the map s representative fraction. Along this line there is distortion-free mapping of the geographic space. Multiple cuts are possible, for example, on a conic projection.
- A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points.
