Question

Express tan -82 as a function of the reference angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

tan(278)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric expression is:

tan (-82)

Note that:

To find the reference angle of a negative angle, you add 360° to it

Therefore:

tan(-82) = tan(-82+360)

tan(-82) = tan(278)

tan(-82) expresed as a function of its reference angle is tan(278)
