On the unit circle at 90 degrees the 90 degrees in radians is pi/2 and the coordinates for this are: (0,1).

The tan function = sin/cos. In the coordinate system x is cos and y is sin.

Therefore (0,1) ; cos=0, & sin=1 . Tan=sin/cos so tan of 90 degrees = 1/0.

The answer of tan(90) = undefined. There can not be a 0 in the denominator, because you can't devide by something with no quantity.

Something with no quantity is 0.

Or, on a limits point of view, it would be infinity.

Why tan A 90 degree is not solve?

Tan(90) is infinitely large. Hence it is deemed not solved. Have a look at the graph of the Tan function. Youwill see it passes through '0' at an angle of 45 degrees. At 45 degrees , the graph line is steeper. At 89 degrees it is almost a vertical line. Hence a 90 degrees it is a vertical line and goes off the scale. Hence Tan(90) is unsresolved. Tan(0) = 0 Tan (45) = 1 Tan(60) = 1.7320... Tan(75) = 3.7320... Tan(85) = 11.430... Tan(89) = 57.289.... Tan(89.9) = 572.957... Tan(89.999....) = 57295779.51 Notice how the Tan values becomes larger and larger with increasing angle. Hence Tan(90) = unresolved; off the vertical scale.


What is the value of tan -90?

Assuming you mean -90 degrees, not radians: tan (-90) = [sin(-90)]/[cos(-90)] = (-1) / 0 You cannot divide by zero. tan (-90) is undefined/does not exist.


In Triangle ABC what is the value of Tan A by 2 in terms of its sides if angle B is 90 degrees?

If B is 90 degrees, Tan A is BC / AB. But I don't know what you mean by Tan A by 2.

Why Ten90' is infinity?

First, I assume the question refers to tan(90 degrees) not Ten90' because (apart from the incorrect spelling of tan) 90' represents 90 minutes or 90/60 degrees = 1.5 degrees. The tangent of an angle is defined as the ratio of sine to cosine of the angle. When that angle is 90 degrees, the cosine is zero and so calculation of tan involves division by 0. And, in mathematics division by 0 is not infinity - it is not defined. So, tan(90) is NOT infinity. It is not defined. tan90 has a positive asymptote when you approach 90 degrees from below but has a negative asymptote when you approach from above.

What is tan x degree 90?

Tan(90) is an infinitely large number, and unresolved.


Why is the tangent of 90 degrees undefined?

tan(x) = sin(x) /cos(x).When x = 90 degrees then cos(x) = 0 so tan(x) requires division by zero - which is not defined.

What is the limit of arc tan?

The principal range of arc tan is an angle in the open interval (-pi/2, pi/2) radians = (-90, 90) degrees.


Hunter in a tree 90 ft above the ground see 2 deer. 1 is due west at at angle of depression 34 degrees and other due east at angle depression 58 degrees how far part to nearest whole number are they?

West. tan theta = opposite/adjacent you have opposite, 90 feet, you want adjacent ( degree mode) tan 34 degrees = 90 feet/adj. adjacent = 90 feet/tan 34 degrees = 133.4 feet ------------------------same for east tan 58 degrees = 90 feet/adj. adjacent = 90 feet/tan 58 degrees = 56.2 feet ------------------- 133.4 feet + 56.2 feet = 190 feet is the distance 2 deer are apart
