Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of tan^(-1)(1)?
Correct Answer: π/4
  • Step 1: Understand what tan^(-1)(1) means. It is asking for the angle whose tangent is 1.
  • Step 2: Recall the definition of tangent. The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
  • Step 3: Identify the angle where the tangent equals 1. This occurs when the opposite and adjacent sides are equal.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the angle π/4 (or 45 degrees) has equal opposite and adjacent sides, making tan(π/4) = 1.
  • Step 5: Conclude that tan^(-1)(1) = π/4 because it is the angle whose tangent is 1.
