Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the value of cos(tan^(-1)(1)).
  • Step 1: Understand that tan^(-1)(1) means we are looking for an angle whose tangent is 1.
  • Step 2: Recall that the tangent of 45 degrees (or π/4 radians) is 1.
  • Step 3: Therefore, tan^(-1)(1) = 45 degrees (or π/4 radians).
  • Step 4: Now, we need to find the cosine of this angle: cos(45 degrees).
  • Step 5: The cosine of 45 degrees is known to be 1/√2.
  • Step 6: Thus, we conclude that cos(tan^(-1)(1)) = 1/√2.
