===In the complex plane=== The sine and cosine of a [[complex number]] <math>z=x+iy</math> can be expressed in terms of real sines, cosines, and [[hyperbolic function]]s as follows: : <math>\begin{align}\sin z &= \sin x \cosh y + i \cos x \sinh y\\[5pt] \cos z &= \cos x \cosh y - i \sin x \sinh y\end{align}</math> By taking advantage of [[domain coloring]], it is possible to graph the trigonometric functions as complex-valued functions. Various features unique to the complex functions can be seen from the graph; for example, the sine and cosine functions can be seen to be unbounded as the imaginary part of <math>z</math> becomes larger (since the color white represents infinity), and the fact that the functions contain simple [[Zeros and poles|zeros or poles]] is apparent from the fact that the hue cycles around each zero or pole exactly once. Comparing these graphs with those of the corresponding Hyperbolic functions highlights the relationships between the two. {| style="text-align:center" |+ '''Trigonometric functions in the complex plane''' |[[File:Trig-sin.png|thumb]] <math> \sin z\, </math> [[File:Trig-cos.png|thumb]] <math> \cos z\, </math> |[[File:Trig-tan.png|thumb]] <math> \tan z\, </math> [[File:Trig-cot.png|thumb]] <math> \cot z\, </math> |[[File:Trig-sec.png|thumb]] <math> \sec z\, </math> [[File:Trig-csc.png|thumb]] <math> \csc z\, </math> |}
