Click on the graph below to choose the graph of the function y = arctan(x).
- π/4 sec π = 1/cos π = 1/(-1) = -1 The range of arctangent is - π/2 to π/2, and the angle whose tangent is 1 is π/4. arctan(sec π) = arctan(-1) = -π/4
Evaluate arctan(secπ).
15/17 The range of arctangent is -90° to 90°, so arctan(-8/15) results in a fourth-quadrant angle. Tangent is opposite over adjacent.Find the hypotenuse: 8² + 15² = c² c = 17 Since the angle is a fourth-quadrant angle, the cosine is positive. Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse: 15/17.
Evaluate cos[arctan(-8/15)].

Solve 3tanx + √3 = 0 for 0 ≤ x < 2π.
168.5° csc ²θ - cscθ - 20 = 0 (cscθ - 5)(cscθ + 4) = 0 cscθ = 5 or cscθ = -4 (sinθ = 1/5 or sinθ = -1/4) Use a calculator in degree mode: 5 1/x INV sin This gives 11.5°. Sine is also positive in Quadrant II: 180 - 11.5 = 168.5° Use a calculator in degree mode: 4 +/- 1/x INV sin This gives -14.5°, or 360 - 14.5 = 345.5°. Sine is also negative in Quadrant III:180 + 14.5 = 194.5°
