arctan(cos(pi))

arctan (cos (π))

- \frac{π}{4}

Decimal Notation

- 45

Solution steps

arctan (cos (π))

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

cos (π)

cos (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= arctan (- 1)

= arctan (- 1)

Rewrite using trig identities:

arctan (- 1) = - \frac{π}{4}

arctan (- 1)

Use the following property:

arctan (- x) = - arctan (x)

arctan (- 1) = - arctan (1)

= - arctan (1)

Use the following trivial identity:

arctan (1) = \frac{π}{4}

arctan (1)

x 0 \frac{3}{3} 13 arctan (x) 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} arctan (x) 0^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{4}

= - \frac{π}{4}

= - \frac{π}{4}

tan (\frac{23 π}{12})

sin (5 7^{\circ})
