tan(-(7pi)/4)

tan (- \frac{7 π}{4})

1

Solution steps

tan (- \frac{7 π}{4})

Use the following property:

tan (- x) = - tan (x)

tan (- \frac{7 π}{4}) = - tan (\frac{7 π}{4})

= - tan (\frac{7 π}{4})

tan (\frac{7 π}{4}) = tan (\frac{3 π}{4})

tan (\frac{7 π}{4})

Rewrite

\frac{7 π}{4}

π + \frac{3 π}{4}

= tan (π + \frac{3 π}{4})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

tan (x + π) = tan (x)

tan (π + \frac{3 π}{4}) = tan (\frac{3 π}{4})

= tan (\frac{3 π}{4})

= - tan (\frac{3 π}{4})

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (\frac{3 π}{4}) = - 1

tan (\frac{3 π}{4})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{sin ( \frac{3 π}{4} )}{cos ( \frac{3 π}{4} )}

tan (\frac{3 π}{4})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{3 π}{4} )}{cos ( \frac{3 π}{4} )}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{3 π}{4} )}{cos ( \frac{3 π}{4} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{3 π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

sin (\frac{3 π}{4})

sin (x)

= \frac{2}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (\frac{3 π}{4})

= - \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{\frac{2}{2}}{- \frac{2}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{2}{2}}{- \frac{2}{2}} : - 1

\frac{\frac{2}{2}}{- \frac{2}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{\frac{2}{2}}{\frac{2}{2}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= - \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2 2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

= - 1

= - 1

= - (- 1)
