If x = tan^(-1)(1), what is the value of x?
Correct Answer: π/4
  • Step 1: Understand that tan^(-1)(1) means we are looking for an angle whose tangent is 1.
  • Step 2: Recall that the tangent function (tan) gives the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle.
  • Step 3: Remember that tan(π/4) equals 1. This means that at an angle of π/4 radians (or 45 degrees), the tangent value is 1.
  • Step 4: Therefore, since tan^(-1)(1) asks for the angle whose tangent is 1, we conclude that x = π/4.
