Question

Whats the exact value of tan (300°)

Answer 1

`-√(3)` or Option A on E2020 Quiz

Explanation:

Answer 2

`Tan(300^(\circ))= - √(3)`

Explanation:

Tan (300°) can be written as Tan (360°-60°) ---1

Using identity :

`Tan(360^(\circ)-\theta)=- Tan\theta`

Using 1

So,
`Tan(360^(\circ)-60^(\circ))= - Tan60^(\circ)`

The value
`Tan60^(\circ)=√(3)`

So,
`Tan(300^(\circ))= - √(3)`

Thus the exact value of
`Tan(300^(\circ))= - √(3)`
