No. Tan(x) represents the value of sin(x)/cos(x). While sin(x) and cos(x) are always less than one, the value of tan(x) ranges from -infinity to infinity. If you've learned the unit circle, remember that tan(x) represents the slope of the line connecting the origin to any point on the circle. This line ranges from horizontal to vertical, so, clearly, tan(x) can be greater than 1.
