Question

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth tan x =5

Answer 1

x ≈ 78.7° (in degree)

x ≈ 1.4 (in radians)

Explanation:

Given in the question an equation

tan(x) = 5

x =
`tan^(1)(5)`

x = 78.69

x ≈ 78.7°

In radian:

x ≈ 1.4

Answer 2

The correct answer is x = 78.7°

Explanation:

It is given that,

Tan x = 5

To find the value of x

If tan ∅ = x then ∅ = tan⁻¹ x =

Here we have tan x = 5

x = tan⁻¹ 5 = 78.69 ≈ 78.7°

Therefore the value of x = 78.7°

The correct answer is 78.7°
