It doesn't. Infinity is not a number, even though, due to us mathematicians being lazy, we denote something = infinity. But we NEVER write tan 90 = infinity. But rather lim_x->(90degree) tan x = infinity. Meaning as x gets closer to 90 degree (even though degree is a horrible measurement for angle, we will use it), the value of tan x gets large faster and unbounded. tan x? It doesn't exist. Why? Because tan x is defined as (sin x / cos x). When x = 90 degree, cos x = 0, while sin x is positive around x = 90 degree. sin x / cos x := sinx x 1 / cos x, x = 90 degree, we get 1 x 1 / 0. But the definition for inverses does not include 0, meaning 1 / 0 does NOT exist. so, sadly, tan 90degree doesn't exist.
The best we can do is see what happens around x = 90degree for tan, as you go into Calculus, you will know the tool is called limits and derivatives. And you might also see the reason it is +infinity, but not -infinity. (tan x approaches -infinity as x approaches 180degree). WHat's more? You will learn a far better measurement for angle that you will stick with in Calculus.

What is negative infinity plus negative infinity?
Negative infinity plus negative infinity equals negative infinity.
What is infinity divided by 5?
Infinity divided by any finite number is infinity. Here are the rules: 1. Infinity divided by a finite number is infinite (I / f = I); 2. Any finite number divided by infinity is a number infinitesimally larger than, but never equal to, zero (f / I = 1 / I); 3. Infinity divided by infinity is one (I / I = 1), or in fact any other positive number (I / I = and so on...); 4. Infinity multiplied by zero (no infinity) is zero (I * 0 = 0); 5. Infinity divided by a positive finite number is infinity (I / +f = I); 6. Infinity divided by a negative finite number is minus infinity (I / -f = -I); 7. Infinity divided by zero is not possible; 8. Infinity plus infinity is infinity (I + I = I); 9. Zero divided by infinity (nothing divided into infinity) equals zero (0 / I = 0); 10. Infinity plus a finite number is infinity (I + f = I); 11. Infinity minus a finite number is infinity (I - f = I); but 12. Infinity minus infinity, due to the nature of infinity, can be zero, infinity, or minus infinity (I - I = -I, 0, I).
Is 0.9 repeating equal to 1?
Yes, 0.9999999.... repeating to infinity equals 1 sharp (not approximately).
What is the answer to this Googolplexplexplexplex times Cardinalities times end number times infinity equals to what?
Googleplex to the tent powerr!! NO DUR!!!
What does one minus infinity equals?
One can only look at this question in the sense of a limit, as infinity is not really a number and cannot be added upon or subtracted. However, if this is in terms of the latter stages of a limit, then 1 - infinity = - infinity.
Why is tan90 is undefined?
tan90=Sin90/Cos90, sin90=1 and cos90=0 so 1/0 = undefined hence tan 90 is undifined
What is (-1)infinity equals to?
It is negative infinity.
Y equals 3x what is the domain and range?
domain: (-infinity to infinity) range: ( -infinity to infinity)
What is negative infinity plus negative infinity?
Negative infinity plus negative infinity equals negative infinity.
Class xth important question section?
cos60 + sin30 = tan90
What is the value of infinite?
1 time infinity equals infinity. Infinite divided by infinite equals 1. There's your answer. * * * * * Except that it is not true. 1 times infinity is, indeed, infinity. But infinity divided by infinity need not be 1. See for example, the paradox of Hibert's Hotel at the attached link.
What is the domain of y equals 2 raised to the x power?
(-infinity, infinity)
What is common between equals and infinity?
infinity is 1+2+4+8+16...=? so there is is nothing common because infinity does not equal anything( unless you get technical then it equals -1)
Determine the range of y equals tan 2 x?
-infinity to positive infinity
What is the greatest product of 5?
Theoretically, five times infinity equals infinity.
What is the energy when n equals 5 to n equals infinity?
it would be unditermand because noone actually knows what infinity is because numbers go on forever :)
What is the range for y equals x plus 2?
This is the graph of a diagnol line. Range: (-infinity, infinity)
