Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If tan(θ) = 1, what is the value of θ? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that tan(θ) represents the tangent of an angle θ.
  • Step 2: Recall that the tangent function is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle.
  • Step 3: Know that tan(45°) equals 1 because in a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the opposite and adjacent sides are equal.
  • Step 4: Since tan(θ) = 1, we can conclude that θ must be 45°.
  • Trigonometric Functions – Understanding the tangent function and its values at specific angles.
  • Inverse Trigonometric Functions – Recognizing that multiple angles can yield the same tangent value due to periodicity.
