In math What is the difference between tan and tan-1?
In mathematics, "tan" refers to the tangent function, which calculates the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle for a given angle. On the other hand, "tan⁻¹" (or arctan) is the inverse tangent function, which takes a ratio and returns the angle whose tangent is that ratio. Essentially, while tan gives you the tangent of an angle, tan⁻¹ helps you find the angle when you know the tangent value.
Is the tangent function periodic?
Yes, the tangent function is periodic.
What is tangent in trigonometry?
Tangent is the ratio between perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
What is the tangent ratio of 0.4877?
It is a ratio of 0.4877 : nothing else.
What is the inverse tangent of 1.4737?
The inverse tangent, denoted as arctan or tan^(-1), of 1.4737 is approximately 56.05 degrees when measured in degrees or approximately 0.980 radians when measured in radians. This value represents the angle whose tangent is 1.4737. In trigonometry, the inverse tangent function helps determine the angle when the tangent ratio is known.
