what is cot equal to

Cot is a trigonometric function that stands for cotangent. It is defined as the reciprocal of the tangent function, which means that cot(x) = 1/tan(x) . In a right triangle, the cotangent of an angle is the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the opposite side. The cotangent of x is also defined as the cosine of x divided by the sine of x: cot x = cos x/sin x. The range of the cot function is all real numbers except for 0 and the multiples of π.
