Inverse Tangent Functions. Lesson 5.6. Remember… y = tan x. y = tan -1 x. If we took y = tan x on its entire domain, the inverse would not be a function So, we restrict the domain of tan -1 x to – π /2 ≤ y ≤ π /2 Different calculators tan -1 x = arctan = atan.

Inverse Tangent Functions Lesson 5.6
y = tan-1 x • If we took y = tan x on its entire domain, the inverse would not be a function • So, we restrict the domain of tan-1x to –π/2 ≤ y ≤π/2 Different calculators tan-1 x = arctan= atan
Remember… y = tan x • Lorem
y = tan-1 x • Lorem
Example 1 • Evaluate Arctan 30 to the nearest thousandth of a degree. • tan x = 30 • x = 88.09˚
Example 2 • Evaluate tan-1 in radians • tan x = • x = arctan • x = 30˚ so π/6
Example 3 • Give the angle θ the line y = mx makes with the positive part of the x – axis as a function of the slope of the line. Tan θ = m m θ = atan m θ 1
