[Math] Why is $\tan$ so different from $\sin$ & $\cos$

Question

I'm just curious, considering how similar the graphs of the sine & cosine functions are in shape, why is the shape of the tangent's graph so different, despite being used in very similar types of problem?

Thanks!

Why the graph of $x/x^2$ is different from $x$ and $x^2$?
