Tools for finding tangent lines to sine function for known angles
Use the horizontal segment to find the x values where the slope of the tangent line is zero.
Use the segment at 45˚ to find the x values where the slope of the tangent line is 1.
Use the segment at 135˚ to find the x values where the slope of the tangent line is -1.
Use the side of the triangle at 30˚ to find the x values where the slope of the tangent line is √3/3 = 0.577...
Use the side of the triangle at 150˚ to find the x values where the slope of the tangent line is - √3/3 = - 0.577..
