What is the reciprocal of the tangent?
The reciprocal of the tangent is the cotangent, or cot. We might write 1/tan = cot.
How can arccot of tanx be simplified?
There is not much that can be done by way of simplification. Suppose arccot(y) = tan(x) then y = cot[tan(x)] = 1/tan(tan(x)) Now cot is NOT the inverse of tan, but its reciprocal. So the expression in the first of above equation cannot be simplified further. Similarly tan[tan(x)] is NOT tan(x)*tan(x) = tan2(x)
How can you verify 1 plus tan theta divided by 1 minus tan theta equals cot theta plus 1 divided by cot theta minus 1?
It depends if 1 plus tan theta is divided or multiplied by 1 minus tan theta.
What is tan20tan32 plus tan32tan38 plus tan38tan20?
This may not be the most efficient method but ... Let the three angle be A, B and C. Then note that A + B + C = 20+32+38 = 90 so that C = 90-A+B. Therefore, sin(C) = sin[(90-(A+B) = cos(A+B) and cos(C) = cos[(90-(A+B) = sin(A+B). So that tan(C) = sin(C)/cos(C) = cos(A+B) / sin(A+B) = cot(A+B) Now, tan(A+B) = [tan(A)+tan(B)] / [1- tan(A)*tan(B)] so cot(A+B) = [1- tan(A)*tan(B)] / [tan(A)+tan(B)] The given expressin is tan(A)*tan(B) + tan(B)*tan(C) + tan(C)*tan(A) = tan(A)*tan(B) + [tan(B) + tan(A)]*cot(A+B) substituting for cot(A+B) gives = tan(A)*tan(B) + [tan(B) + tan(A)]*[1- tan(A)*tan(B)]/[tan(A)+tan(B)] cancelling [tan(B) + tan(A)] and [tan(A) + tan(B)], which are equal, in the second expression. = tan(A)*tan(B) + [1- tan(A)*tan(B)] = 1
The function cot 115 degrees is equivalent to A -tan 65 degrees B -tan 25 degrees C tan 25 degrees D tan 65 degrees?
B: -tan(25)
What is the answer to cot squared x - tan squared x equals 0?
cot2x-tan2x=(cot x -tan x)(cot x + tan x) =0 so either cot x - tan x = 0 or cot x + tan x =0 1) cot x = tan x => 1 / tan x = tan x => tan2x = 1 => tan x = 1 ou tan x = -1 x = pi/4 or x = -pi /4 2) cot x + tan x =0 => 1 / tan x = -tan x => tan2x = -1 if you know about complex number then infinity is the solution to this equation, if not there's no solution in real numbers.
The function cot 115 degrees is equivalent to?
cot(115º) = -tan(25) or cot(115º) = -0.466308
What is the cotangent of 360 degrees?
cot(360°) = cot(0°) = tan(90°) = ∞
What is cot theta divided by tan theta plus one equal?
whats the big doubt,cot/tan+1= 1+1= 2
The function cot 115 degrees is equivalent to A -tan 60 degrees B -tan 25 degrees C tan 25 degrees D tan 65 degrees?
cot 115 deg = - tan25 deg
What is the reciprocal of the tangent?
The reciprocal of the tangent is the cotangent, or cot. We might write 1/tan = cot.
Cos2x equals 1 minus tan squared x divide by1 plus tan squared x?
The Answer is 1 coz, 1-Tan squarex = Cot square X. So cot square x divided cot square x is equal to 1
If tan Theta equals 2 with Theta in Quadrant 3 find cot Theta?
Cotan(theta) is the reciprocal of the tan(theta). So, cot(theta) = 1/2.
Find the cot of a 32 degree angle?
cot 32° = 1/(tan 32°) = 1/(0.6249) = 1.6003
What are the different types of number system in scientific calculator?

What is the exact trigonometric function value of cot 15 degrees?
cot(15)=1/tan(15) Let us find tan(15) tan(15)=tan(45-30) tan(a-b) = (tan(a)-tan(b))/(1+tan(a)tan(b)) tan(45-30)= (tan(45)-tan(30))/(1+tan(45)tan(30)) substitute tan(45)=1 and tan(30)=1/√3 into the equation. tan(45-30) = (1- 1/√3) / (1+1/√3) =(√3-1)/(√3+1) The exact value of cot(15) is the reciprocal of the above which is: (√3+1) /(√3-1)
