sin(60) or sin(PI/3) = sqrt(3)/2

cos(60) or cos(PI/3)=1/2

tan(60) or tan(PI/3) = sin(60)/cos(60)=sqrt(3)

But we want tan for -sqrt(3). Tangent is negative in quadrant II and IV.

In Quadrant IV, we compute 360-60=300 or 2PI-PI/3 =5PI/3

tan(5PI/3) = -sqrt(3)

Tangent is also negative in the second quadrant, so we compute PI-PI/3=2PI/3 or 120 degrees.

tan(t)=-sqrt(3)

t=5PI/3 or 2PI/3

The period of tan is PI

The general solution is

t = 5PI/3+ n PI, where n is any integer

t = 2PI/3+ n PI, where n is any integer

A specific value for the mode cannot be given with the information provided. The arithmetic mean = Sum of all the values ÷ The number of values. The median is the value which lies halfway along the series when arranged in ascending or descending order. The mode of a set of values is the value which occurs most frequently.
