  3. (-π, π)
  4. [0, 1]

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If y = tan^(-1)(x), then the range of y is:
  • Step 1: Understand what y = tan^(-1)(x) means. This is the inverse tangent function, which gives the angle whose tangent is x.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the tangent function can take any real number as input, but its output (the angle) is limited.
  • Step 3: Know that the tangent function has vertical asymptotes at -π/2 and π/2, meaning it approaches these values but never actually reaches them.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the output of the inverse tangent function (y) must be between -π/2 and π/2, but not including those values.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the range of y = tan^(-1)(x) is (-π/2, π/2).
