Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees tan-1√3.
Solution:
The inverse of a function f is denoted by f-1 and it exists only when f is both one-one and onto function.
Note that f-1 is NOT the reciprocal of f.
The composition of the function f and the reciprocal function f-1 gives the domain value of x.
We know that tan-1 is defined as a function with values which are restricted to the range [0, π/2)
If θ = tan-1√3
tan θ = √3
So the triangle will be like
So we get
θ = 60 degrees = π/3
Therefore, the inverse function value in degrees is θ = 60 degrees.
Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees tan-1√3.
Summary:
Using the unit circle, the inverse function value in degrees tan-1√3 is θ = 60 degrees.
