How do I find the exact value of tan⁻¹(tan

ula1" title=" \frac{4 \pi }{5} " alt=" \frac{4 \pi }{5} " align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> ) ? I know the answer is negative, but I don't know why the inverse of tan and tan don't cancel out for the answer to just be 4pi/5 ?

This is because \tan x is a multivalued function and is not invertible over its entire domain. We restrict its domain to the interval -\dfrac\pi2, which gives one complete branch of values (or one period). \dfrac{4\pi}5>\dfrac\pi2 and thus \dfrac{4\pi}5 is outside the domain.

A different way to go about this is to find the value of \tan\dfrac{4\pi}5 first, then compute the inverse tangent of that result. But finding the trigonometric values of multiples of \dfrac\pi5 is somewhat tricky and perhaps more work than is needed.

Instead, we can use a trigonometric identity to find the value of \tan whenever its argument falls outside the "standard" branch. 

We know that \tan(x\pm\pi)=\tan x (because \tan is \pi-periodic), so \tan\dfrac{4\pi}5=\tan\left(\dfrac{4\pi}5-\pi\right)=\tan\left(-\dfrac\pi5\right). And now the function can be inverted, so that

\tan^{-1}\left(\tan\dfrac{4\pi}5\right)=\tan^{-1}\left(\tan\left(-\dfrac\pi5\right)\right)=-\dfrac\pi5

To determine whether the inverse of a function is a function you can perform the horizontal line test.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{TRUE}}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a horizontal line intersects the graph of a function in all places at exactly one point (the horizontal line test), the inverse of the function is also a function.

For example, the inverse of a hyperbola (like ƒ(x) =1/x) is a function, because every horizontal line intersects with the graph at exactly one point.

However, the inverse of a parabola (like ƒ(x) = x²) is not a function, because a horizontal line intersects with the graph at two points.
