The inverse tangent, also called the arc-tangent.

It is: tan^-1(0.4375) = 23.62937773 degrees
It is a function which maps the tangent ratio - any real value - to an angle in the range (-pi/2, pi/2) radians. Or (-90, 90) degrees.If tan(x) = y then x is the inverse tangent of y.It is also known as "arc tangent", and spreadsheets, such as Excel, use "atan" for this function.Warning:1/tangent = cotangent is the reciprocal, NOT the inverse.
3 f'(1) is the slope of the tangent line of the curve at x=1. Because the tangent line at x=1 goes through (1,7) and (-2,-2), its slope is (7-(-2))/(1-(-2))=9/3=3. So f'(1)=3.

To find the tangent of 1, you can use the inverse tangent function (arctan) on a calculator. Simply input 1 into the arctan function and calculate the result. The tangent of 1 is approximately 0.7854.
The angle you seek is 45 degrees. The angle whose tangent is 1 can be written arctan(1) = 45 degrees.
The reciprocal of the tangent is the cotangent, or cot. We might write 1/tan = cot.
Zero. Tangent = sine/cosine. sin(0) = 0 and cos(0) = 1, so 0/1 = 0.
In the limit, a chord approaches a tangent, but is never actually a tangent. (In much the same way as 1/x approaches 0 as x increases, but is never actually 0.)In the limit, a chord approaches a tangent, but is never actually a tangent.
