Where did the graphs of trigonometric functions originate from? Please this is urgent!!

Question

inkyvoyd · Answer

Well, what kind of explanation do you want?

anonymous · Answer

This is for a project and the question is: as an introduction, you must give a short background of where the graphs of trigonometric functions originated from, without going into much details of the graph itself.

inkyvoyd · Answer

So, you are looking for the history of trigonometry essentially?

inkyvoyd · Answer

Or looking at what the function has to do with its graph?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not a hundred percent sure, I suppose the history of how the graphs started, exactly what the question is.
